New Award for BAA11-101

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations is preparing to solicit proposals under a Broad Agency Announcement for the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office focused on exploratory research in nuclear detection technology. This initiative seeks innovative proposals that could significantly advance national capabilities in detecting and interdicting nuclear and radiological threats. Eligible prime contractors include private industry, academic institutions, and nonprofit organizations, while federally funded research centers and similar entities are prohibited from prime contractor roles but may participate as subcontractors. Interested parties must register at the designated DHS procurement website before the submission deadline, with no exceptions allowed. The solicitation, identified under number HSHQDC-11-R-00050, was posted in February 2011 and is managed by the Contract Administration Services Division located in Washington, DC. The effort targets the NAICS code 541712 and follows a strict electronic submission process with no phone inquiries accepted. Vendors who participated in the previous fiscal year may retain their accounts for ease of resubmission. The contracting officer overseeing this opportunity is Michele L. M. Mutschler, who is the primary point of contact for questions or clarifications regarding the solicitation.
