The Government will not pay for any response expenses. All costs incurred responding to this SSN will be solely at the interested party's expense. Failure to respond to this SSN will not preclude participation in any future solicitation. Any information received will become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the submitter. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary or sensitive information. Government technical experts drawn from staff within CISA, and other federal agencies may review responses. The Government may use selected support contractor personnel to assist in the review of the SSN responses. These support contractors will be bound by appropriate non-disclosure agreements to protect proprietary information. PROGRAM BACKGROUND CISA�s mission is to lead the national effort to protect and enhance the resilience of the nation�s physical and cyber infrastructure.� CISA includes the CISA Mission Enabling Offices (MEOs) and six Divisions: the Cybersecurity Division (CSD), the Emergency Communications Division (ECD), the Integrated Operations Division (IOD), Infrastructure Security Division (ISD), the Stakeholder Engagement Division (SED), as well as, the National Risk Management Center (NRMC), which are headquartered with the National Capital Region (NCR).� The ISD Office for Bombing Prevention�s (OBP) mission is to protect life and critical infrastructure by building capabilities within the public and across the private and public sectors to prevent, protect against, respond to, and mitigate bombing incidents. In furtherance of this mission, OBP manages a focused portfolio of activities to coordinate national and intergovernmental bombing prevention efforts; enhance C-IED capabilities though requirements and gap analysis; and increase Improvised Explosive Device (IED) awareness and information sharing among Federal, State, local, and private sector partners. OBP programs, developed in partnership with public and private stakeholders, are based on global IED threats and vulnerabilities to terrorist use of explosives, which target critical infrastructure sectors. Through the following programs, OBP enhances the infrastructure protection and bombing prevention capabilities of both public and private sector partners: Strategy Technical Assistance Data and Analysis Training An integral role to this mission is the integration / support functions defined in this requirement as part of the OBP Front Office.

If significant subcontracting or teaming is anticipated; identify potential team members (if known) and describe the administrative and management structure of such arrangements.
