- Description
- THIS IS AN EMANDEMENT TO THE PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE ISSUED FOR BAA 10-CANSCAN The Department of the Interior, National Business Center, (DOI/NBC) on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) is issuing this DRAFT Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for innovative Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) and Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) Technologies for use by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Both CBP and TSA have a need to improve technologies currently being deployed for inspecting incoming vehicles, cargo conveyances, and air-cargo shipments. Current NII technologies employed by CBP and TSA include (1) trace material detection of highly specific molecules using technologies such as canine teams or chemical analysis of surface swipes and 'puffs' of air, and (2) imaging inspection using technologies primarily based on X-ray and gamma-ray systems. Imaging systems inherently have lower material specificity than molecular detection systems. This BAA focuses entirely on imaging-based technologies, which allow a detailed inspection of vehicles as well as interiors of large cargo and air shipping containers. Adversaries may use hidden compartments or other methods of concealment to smuggle contraband across the US border. The ultimate goal of this effort is to provide CBP and TSA with improved NII technologies for enhanced screening, examination, and detection of contraband, hidden compartments, materials for weapons of mass destruction/mass effect, and human stowaways. To achieve this goal these new NII systems will have improved penetration, resolution, contrast sensitivity, and throughput, as well as automated material identification capability. This BAA 10-CanScan constitutes the entire solicitation for this effort. No further solicitation regarding this notice will be issued. The closing date for this BAA is February 16, 2010. Important: December 17: Pre-release issued January 4, 2010: Full Solicitation issuedJanuary 4, 2010 through February 17, 2010: Proposals Submitted and Accepted February 17, 2010: Deadline for Submission of proposals is 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time (EST) Contact with Technical Point of Contact: Please note that contact with the Technical Point of Contact is allowed up to January 4, 2010. The entire BAA is available at http://www.aqd.nbc.gov/solicitations. NAICS Code: 541712, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Live Sciences. No questions concerning this BAA will be accepted by telephone.
