- Announcement / Registration Forms (Word Format) Announcement / Registration Forms (Pdf. Format) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) will conduct an industry day for the Human Portable Tripwire (HPT) Program on October 27, 2011 in Washington D. C. (location will be forwarded to registered participants). The purpose of the HPT program is to increase the opportunity and likelihood of detecting illicit radiological/ nuclear material through constant, non-deliberate scans by detection devices that are worn by operators at all times as standard equipment. An additional, fundamental purpose of the HPT program is to function as personal protective equipment. The goal for the HPT Industry Day event is to provide industry with information relevant to the program, including: • A list of draft requirements currently identified for a HPT device. • An overview of intended Concepts of Operation by potential end users. • An overview of new detection and networking technologies being developed by DNDO-Transformational and Applied Research Directorate (TARD) which could be implemented in a HPT device. The registration form for the event and tentative agenda are enclosed. The list of HPT draft requirements to be discussed during the event is also enclosed. Due to the sensitive nature of the performance requirements, there are some To Be Determined (TBDs) in the enclosed draft requirements list. Values will be disclosed during the event to attendees who have signed and submitted the enclosed Non-Disclosure Agreement-(Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) Section only)for the event. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions with their completed registration forms in order to facilitate a question and answer session during the event. All releasable information provided during the HPT Industry Day will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website after the event. The HPT Industry Day does not indicate a promise or intention to issue a request for proposals, request for quotes, or follow up acquisition of any type. DNDO will not assume liability for costs incurred by attendees or for preparations, travel expenses or marketing efforts; therefore, vendors' expenses in response to this notice are not considered an allowable direct charge to the Government. Companies responding to this notification should indicate whether they are a large or small business, small disadvantaged business, woman-owned business, and/or service disabled veteran-owned small business.
