- Description
- Appendix C: RFI Vendor Questionnaire Appendix B: Definitions Appendix A: Technology Roadmap RFI for Technical Solutions to CBP User Needs THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This is an RFI released pursuant to FAR 15.201(e). This RFI is issued solely for information, planning purposes, and market research only; it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is not at this time seeking proposals. CBP will not pay for any cost associated with responding to this RFI. All costs will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP. If a solicitation is released, it will be posted in the Federal Business Opportunities (http://www.fbo.gov). Interested parties are advised to monitor this website for any information that may pertain to this RFI. The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. All submissions become the property of the Federal Government, and will not be returned. Purpose This RFI seeks to obtain information from industry that will provide CBP with insight into existing technology that can be fielded now as well as technological advances that might be expected in the near future (3-8 years out). RFI responses will aid in the formation of an acquisition strategy for technology solutions required to address all CBP mission areas. These mission areas include: screening of passengers and conveyances for contraband at ports of entry; intelligence collection and analysis; and supporting functions such as officer safety and training. This is a partial listing. A more complete listing is provided as Potential User Needs in Appendix A, Definitions in Appendix B. To address this planning, CBP is creating a Technology Development Roadmap (Tech Roadmap) that captures the Potential User Needs of all CBP operational components, assesses the capability of existing and near term technology to meet those Potential User Needs, and identifies all gaps between them. Once established, this Tech Roadmap will help guide CBP's future acquisitions and support new product development. It will identify which Potential User Needs can be met immediately with Off-the-Shelf products, which solutions would have the greatest impact on the mission once implemented, and which projects require further development. In order to effectively populate the Tech Roadmap, information is needed from industry that allows us to assess the state of the technology readiness level of products that may be able to fulfill the Potential User Needs of CBP.
