AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Interior's National Business Center, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate, has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA 10-CanScan) seeking innovative Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) and Automated Threat Recognition (ATR) technologies to enhance Customs and Border Protection’s capabilities. The solicitation focuses on advanced imaging technologies, particularly those based on X-ray and gamma-ray systems, aimed at improving the inspection of vehicles, cargo containers, and air shipments. The goal is to develop tools with better penetration, resolution, contrast sensitivity, throughput, and automated material identification that can effectively detect contraband, hidden compartments, weapons materials, and human stowaways. This announcement constitutes the entire solicitation, with no follow-up notices planned, and emphasizes the importance of proposal submission by the deadline of February 17, 2010, at 4:30 p.m. EST. Prior to this, a pre-release was issued on December 17, 2009, followed by the full solicitation on January 4, 2010, the same day when contact with the Technical Point of Contact ceased. The BAA aligns with NAICS code 541712, covering research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Questions regarding the announcement are not accepted by telephone, and all proposal details are available online. This initiative highlights the government's commitment to advancing border security through cutting-edge technology.

Full Description

THIS IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE OPENING OF BAA 10-CANSCAN. SEE DATES BELOW FOR DEADLINE OF RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS. 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). CBP has a need to improve technologies currently being deployed for inspecting incoming vehicles, cargo conveyances, and air-cargo shipments. Current NII technologies employed by CBP include imaging inspection using technologies primarily based on X-ray and gamma-ray systems. This BAA focuses 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 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 issued January 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.
