- Description
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to release a ‘Special Notice' via the Federal Business Opportunities website (http://www.fbo.gov) in July 2017. The special notice will be a combined Sources Sought and Request for Information (RFI) for consideration on draft solicitation documents. Responses to the notice will aid in the development of an acquisition strategy and final solicitation for competitive award of the Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) Follow-On Operations and Maintenance contract. The special notice is solely for information, planning purposes, and market research; it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP. TARS is an aerostat-borne surveillance system that provides wide area persistent long-range radar detection and monitoring (radar and electro-optical/infrared surveillance) for interdiction of low-flying aircraft and maritime/ground traffic in support of the CBP strategic objective. TARS balloons are tethered to ground stations while flying at approximately 10,000 feet above mean sea level. There are six (6) TARS sites operating along the United States-Mexico border, with two additional sites monitoring the Florida Straits, and a portion of the Caribbean south and west of Puerto Rico. All interested vendors should monitor FBO for the special notice and respond accordingly. The Government intends to hold an Industry Day Event in July 2017 to provide an overview of the TARS Program and respond to questions. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses received from the sources sought and request for information is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
