This Request for Information (RFI) supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate’s efforts to conduct market research in support of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) and Federal Protective Service (FPS).


Recent gap analyses and need assessments have highlighted the importance of developing a portable network scanning tool tailored to FPS operational requirements. The tool must enable comprehensive discovery and inventory of IT, Internet of Things (IoT), and Operational Technology (OT) assets, perform vulnerability and configuration assessments in environments without centralized monitoring, and generate structured outputs compatible with FPS’s existing inventory and reporting tools. The project will also address the need for interoperability with legacy systems, unique asset tracking, and compliance with government travel and operational constraints.


DHS S&T HSARPA is leading the development of this tool, with FPS as the component customer and eventual recipient. The Contractor will design, develop, test, and deliver the tool, with oversight and project management provided by DHS S&T HSARPA.


The Contractor shall design, develop, test, and deliver a consolidated, portable, agentless network scanning tool for use by FPS. The tool will support real-time discovery and inventory of information technology (IT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Operational Technology (OT) assets, vulnerability and configuration assessments, and integration with FPS’s existing inventory and reporting systems. The project will also include the development of a user interface, documentation, and training materials, as well as validation and testing in operational environments.


The attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) provides background for the FPS Network Scanning Tool.

Valley Forge Gateway Trail Feasibility Study (TCDI Project Category 5 – Transportation and Infrastructure Planning)
Solicitation # 26-67-106
The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is soliciting proposals for the Valley Forge Gateway Trail Feasibility Study, specifically focusing on Segment 7 to link the Village at Valley Forge with the Chester Valley Trail. This project involves evaluating trail alignments, crossing major infrastructure such as Route 202 and I-76 ramps, assessing environmental and regulatory constraints, and conducting public engagement. Key deliverables include a final feasibility study report, conceptual engineering drawings, a public engagement plan, and an implementation strategy. All work must be completed by June 30, 2028, and must comply with NEPA, ADA, and Title VI nondiscrimination standards. The procurement follows a best-value trade-off selection process in accordance with the Brooks Act, meaning cost is not a factor in the initial evaluation. Proposals are scored based on technical approach and project understanding (40%), professional qualifications (30%), commitment to sustainability and equity (15%), and the ability to perform within the schedule (15%). Submissions must be uploaded via the OpenGov portal by October 14, 2026, in two separate PDF volumes: a technical proposal and an administrative budget proposal. The lead consultant must be prequalified by DVRPC, and while the DBE subcontracting goal has been removed, disadvantaged business enterprises are still afforded full and fair opportunity to bid.

NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations
Solicitation # M2M-MSFC-0001
The solicitation for NextSTEP-3 Appendix B: Moon Base Demonstrations, issued under solicitation number 80MSFC26R0003 by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, seeks industry-led demonstrations to advance the development of a permanent lunar base at the Moon’s South Pole, aligning with national space policy goals of sustained lunar presence and deep space exploration readiness. This initiative targets technology readiness levels 6 and above to bridge the gap between innovation and operational mission needs, with an emphasis on architectural studies, risk reduction, and capability maturation rather than hardware production. The procurement employs a two-step process: initial White Paper submissions followed by invited full proposals under a Multi-Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) structure, with all awards structured as Firm-Fixed-Price contracts featuring performance-based milestone payments. The solicitation operates under a dual-path approach, combining Directed-Topic Calls that address specific, evolving mission needs with Open-Topic Calls that invite broader, unanticipated innovations—though submissions duplicating Directed-Topic concepts will be deemed ineligible. Evaluation is based on a non-trade-off, best-value selection process where Technical Capability (including Capability and Past Performance) is weighted at 1,000 points and must meet minimum thresholds for eligibility, while Price is assessed solely for reasonableness and completeness and does not factor into ranking. Proposals must adhere to strict formatting rules, including page limits and submission as a single searchable PDF, with key personnel qualifications, organizational conflict of interest plans, and intellectual property disclosures required as attachments. All contractors must maintain active SAM.gov registration, submit required certifications and representations, and comply with NASA-specific clauses related to data rights, payments, changes, subcontracting, whistleblower protections, and safety and liability waivers. Performance will be conducted under the NASA FAR Supplement, with invoicing required through the NASA Shared Services Center and all delivery and inspection terms left intentionally unspecified, reinforcing the analytical nature of deliverables—reports, models, simulations, and feasibility studies—rather than physical products. The contracting office at Huntsville, Alabama, remains the point of contact, with questions directed to the designated Contracting Officer, and submissions must be completed by the stated deadline to remain valid.
