- Description
- This document lists the test kit part numbers. This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposal, or Request for Quotes. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Additionally, the U.S. Government will not provide reimbursement for any information that may be submitted in response to this RFI. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI, and any submissions to this notice will not result in an evaluation or rating by the Government. Background US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) mission is to facilitate the legitimate flow of people and cargo into and out of this country while denying entry to persons or cargo that would be dangerous to this country or which for any of a number of reasons may be denied entry. CBP identifies persons who would pose a danger were they allowed entry in the United States (e.g., the individual was on the terrorist watch list, have a medical condition that would pose a threat to the US population, or have prohibited agricultural materials etc.) and collects tariffs and duties on imported goods. CBP is a front-line agency in the war on terrorism and collects more revenue than any US agency other than the Internal Revenue Service. As part of the CBP mission, routine field testing of suspected controlled substances are performed utilizing various Narcotic Field Test Kits (NFTK) to detect and prevent drug trafficking. Two manufacturers whose kits have been authorized by CBP for such use are ODC and NIK. While other brands are also used by CBP, the purpose of this RFI is to identify potential sources for NFTK made by ODC and NIK. The attached draft provision statement contains a list of those ODC and NIK test kits used by CBP. Responding to this RFI Please submit your capabilities, capacity statements and supporting information in an email to Gary.Robertson@dhs.gov no later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of posting. Responses should be limited to not more than ten (10) single spaced pages. Please note that the collection of this data does not obligate the U.S. Government to the incorporation of the solicited comments in any future procurement action nor does it obligate the Government to the procurement of any services or products related to this RFI. Proprietary information should not be included in the RFI response. Responses to this RFI will not be returned.
