Eligibility
Full Description
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation. The BAA is available via the FedBizOpps website(http://www.fedbizopps.gov/) and posted on the HSARPA (http://www.hsarpabaa.com) website. Please review the document in its entirety, and submit specific inquiries to the BAA email address (BAA08-03@dhs.gov). DHS S&T is initiating the second Rapid Technology Application Program BAA to meet the expressed rapid technology development needs of emergency responders and internal DHS customers.
The RTAP will facilitate a number of S&T’s goals, including: 1) Fulfilling the expressed needs of emergency responders and internal DHS customers for rapid prototype technology developments; and 2) Producing advanced technology prototypes 6-18 months after award of contracts. Under this BAA DHS is soliciting white papers for the rapid prototyping of systems for Explosives Detection. More specifically, an explosives detection portal is being solicited and is captured by the following BAA Topic: Portable – Trace-Level Explosives Detection Portal (Portable - EDP). Awards may take the form of contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transaction (OTs) agreements.
