- Request for Information Request for Information Number: RFIKHD0123150900 Agency/Office: Washington Headquarters Services/Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) Title: Unattended Perimeter Intrusion Sensor System Background/Overview: The Government seeks to identify industry capabilities and identify qualified Small and Large Business sources capable of providing unattended ground sensor (UGS) perimeter security systems in support of the Government's mission to provide in depth protection to Government and leased facilities infrastructure and personnel. Requirement: WHS/AD is seeking information from vendors (both large and small) and intends to gather market research information to determine the viability of leasing, for 6 months, perimeter intrusion sensor systems in support of the Governments mission and for testing purposes. This Request for Information (RFI) notice is for market research information and planning purposes only; it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The Department of Defense (DoD), WHS/AD is seeking firms doing business in North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes 334290 Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Respondents shall not submit any proprietary information when responding to this RFI. Respondents shall also note that the Government will not return any information submitted in response to this RFI. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by respondents regarding any responses to this RFI. Respondents shall submit capability brief narratives that clearly define the firm's ability to perform as stated in this RFI. Data provided by perimeter intrusion sensor allows user to: 1. Ascertain if system can serve as perimeter security system for Government facilities following pilot test and assessment; 2. Identify location of intrusion; 3. Determine if intrusion is by foot or vehicle; 4. Glean direction of travel; 5. Discern number of intruders; 6. Approximate speed. Perimeter sensor system requirements: 1. Compliance: a. UHF- or VHF-based communications, if applicable: i. If using a frequency within the military range, have a DoD 1494 approved from the Army Frequency management office (ARMO) ii. Must have FCC Part 15 approval for use of frequency(ies) 1. At minimum, must gain Special Temporary Authority (STA) from the FCC for the purposes of short-term testing (provide approval Expiration Date, Authorized area of Operation) 2. STA's cannot be used to support operational deployment iii. Transmitter must have FCC ID label and a compliance label. iv. Receiver must have a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) v. Operator does not have to obtain a license to use a Part 15 transmitter, but the transmitter itself is required to have an FCC authorization vi. If functioning in the VHF band, uses Low Probability of Intercept/Low Probability of Detection (LPI/LPD) burst transmissions b. Information Technology (documentation to be provided exhibiting previous success) i. Able to comply with Information Assurance (IA) requirements listed in the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide and the DoD Risk Management Framework; ii. Must be able to attain a Certificate of Networthiness (CON) per the United States Army standards; iii. Able to fully function when encryption is applied to data at rest and in transit; 2. Threshold performance criteria a. Communications i. If using UHF- or VHF-based communication and band is allocated on a secondary basis to the amateur service/Stations in the amateur service, communications must tolerate any interference from the operations of industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) devices, LMS systems, and the operations of Federal stations authorized in this band. ii. Range of 2 km (dense terrain) - 25 km (open, flat terrain) wherein dense terrain may include complex topography, elevation of up to 5,000ft, and old-growth plant life; iii. If UHF- or VHF-based, preferably able to take advantage of a radio repeater to extend functional range; iv. Transmission of a signal is continuous until trigger has left sensor range (i.e., sending a signal does not deafen the sensor to ongoing activity; b. Environmental considerations i. If equipment is emplaced underground, requires shallow hole(s) (if applicable) of less than six (6) inches and antenna (if applicable) must withstand being stepped on, moved over, frozen; ii. Sustain full function in the temperature range of -20 oF to +110 oF; iii. Function under adverse weather conditions (wind, hail, rain, direct sunlight, snow, and ice accumulation); c. Information Technology i. All activity logged is in a file format that can be readily extracted by the end user and can be queried; ii. Database is SQL 2008R2, or later; d. Equipment i. Small footprint and portable form factor; ii. Interface displays (at a minimum), sensor location on an embedded map, grid, sensor health, battery life; iii. Alarm upon tamper; iv. Form factor is covert or capable of being camouflaged without degrading function; v. Mildew and fungus resistant; vi. Meets MIL-STD-810, 509.2 salt resistance requirement; vii. Meets MIL-STD-461 level RE102 (if 10kHz - 18GHz), CE106 (if 10kHz - 40GHz) and RS103 (if 10kHz - 40GHz) EMI/EMC requirements; viii. Withstands shock/vibration at 1.5 g over 5-200Hz for 1.5 hrs; ix. Water Resistance to 12" standing water for >36 hrs; e. Performance i. Preferably, able to incorporate additional detection hardware; ii. If using more than one detection method (i.e., seismic and magnetic), system sends two independent messages to receiver; iii. Ability to discriminate between pedestrian(s), animals, and vehicle intrusions under various conditions (wet, dry, speed, etc.) with ability to discriminate over 15% of total detections iv. Detection rate minimum criteria: false positive rate of 10-40% and probability of detection greater than/equal to 60%; v. Up-time greater than/equal to 90%; vi. Fully battery-operated (currently ≥6 month life); vii. Able to function as a stand-alone system for testing purposes; 3. Other a. On-site performers must have, at minimum, Secret or Q clearance; b. Training to be provided on-site to five (5) key test and evaluation personnel Responses to this RFI shall be in the form of a capability statement and must clearly demonstrate: • Availability of all items from a single source. • How the system is housed; how the system interfaces; how the system corroborates detection information; general characteristics of the system including height, grounding, immersion rates, communication architecture and equipment, and any other salient characteristics. • Availability of a 6 month lease at minimal cost. Describe installation and removal of a stand-alone system and timeline for temporary deployment for the purposes of test and evaluation. • List major Government contract number(s) and commercial clients for which the vendor has prior relevant experience with sensor support, integration, and fielding. • Available training on use of the system at a cleared facility for short term test and evaluation.
