Description

Innovation Other Transaction Solicitation Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate SILICON VALLEY OFFICE 5-YEAR INNOVATION OTHER TRANSACTION SOLICITATION (OTS) HSHQDC-16-R-B0005 The mission of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) includes rapid identification and development of new technologies to counter emerging threats. Traditional procurement and assistance processes sometimes take too long and are ineffective at deploying state-of-the-art Homeland Security innovations. Therefore, DHS has developed an Innovation framework to be implemented utilizing the flexibility of an Other Transaction Solicitation (OTS) to engage non-traditional Government contractors, including start-up companies. This engagement is intended to better understand and assist new companies so they have more opportunities to work with the Department. Through targeted non-dilutive funding and providing opportunities for operational testing and market access, DHS hopes to incentivize product developers to open the aperture of their development roadmaps to include homeland security solutions. DHS refers to this OTS, and will refer to subsequent OTS amendment employing this framework, as an "Innovation OTS."
