Request for Information (RFI) - Radars and EO/IR Sensors

Background
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Air and Marine Operations (AMO) is conducting market research to enhance their mission of serving and protecting the American people. This RFI aims to gather information on airborne sensor systems, including radar and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors, to support national security missions such as interdiction, investigation, domain awareness, and contingency operations.

AMO's Vision and Strategy 2030 emphasizes increasing operational effectiveness through improved domain awareness and assessments of emerging technologies.

Work Details
AMO seeks high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) solutions (8 or 9) that are interoperable across various vendors and platforms. The focus is on common sensors or system components that can reduce sustainment costs. Specific areas of interest include:
- Surface surveillance
- Air surveillance
- Sea surveillance
- Air intercept radar systems
- Multi-role radar systems

The RFI requests information on proposed radar or EO/IR systems, including details on the following:
- General Statement addressing capabilities for specific aircraft/mission sets
- Experience with similar work and knowledge of management, engineering, production, and quality control personnel
- Systems engineering processes and current production capacity
- Compliance with environmental and MIL specification standards
- Schedule estimates for delivery timelines and spare parts availability
- Training support for operational usage and maintenance of the systems
- Price estimates covering unit costs, installation kits, ground support equipment, recommended spares, documentation, non-recurring engineering costs, and technical support for aircraft integration.
