DESCRIPTION: This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) HSHQDC-14-Q-00282. The NAICS code for this solicitation is 511199 and the Small Business Standard is 500 employees.

OVERVIEW: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to using cutting-edge technologies and scientific talent in its quest to make America safer. The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) is tasked with researching and organizing the scientific, engineering, and technological resources of the U.S. and leveraging these existing resources into technological tools to help protect the homeland. Technology foraging is a high impact process that proactively leverages the public and private sectors- both international and domestic - to identify, locate and evaluate existing or developing technologies, products, services, and emerging trends to expedite speed of execution, maximize partnership opportunities, and assemble resources in order to impact the development of current or future Homeland Security systems and architectures, DHS operational user needs and/or DHS S&T programs. III. REQUIREMENTS: To support technology foraging, DHS S&T seeks web-based, on-demand (24/7) access to market research information, trends, forecasts, market analysis, technical insights, and best practices research. Access must include inquiry time with analysts who produce the research. Topics covered must include at least aerospace, defense, and security technologies. Please see the detailed requirements identified in Attachment 1 - Statement of Work. IV.
