Overview

Summary
This statement of work (SOW) for the Tactical Communications and Technical Investigative Surveillance Operations III (TacCom and TechOps III) project was issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on August 26, 2024.

The primary objective of this SOW is to establish multiple indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts that will provide DHS with access to a broad range of commercial commodity solutions necessary for tactical communications and technical investigative operations. These contracts aim to support both legacy systems and updated technologies, enabling DHS to leverage its buying power for cost-effective procurement of products and services.

The scope of work outlined in the SOW includes providing a variety of TacCom and TechOps equipment from multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), as well as associated services such as infrastructure, operation, and maintenance.

The contractor is expected to furnish all necessary resources—including equipment, personnel, materials, and travel—to fulfill specific requirements defined at the order level. The SOW categorizes the required offerings into two main technical categories:

1. **Equipment**:
- Radios
- Infrastructure
- Maritime/Air systems
- Satellite communications
- Video/Audio/Sensor devices

2. **Services**:
- Development
- Maintenance
- Training
- Operations sustainment
- Engineering

Additionally, the contractor must ensure compliance with various technical standards and regulations throughout the contract's duration.

Contract management is emphasized as a mandatory requirement for all IDIQ holders to ensure effective oversight of order processes concerning cost, schedule, and quality. The contractor must also manage relationships with OEMs and subcontractors while providing new equipment only unless refurbished items are specifically authorized. Furthermore, the SOW stipulates that contractors must report on subcontracting compliance through an electronic system to track small business participation effectively.

This SOW outlines a comprehensive framework for delivering essential communication and surveillance capabilities to support DHS's law enforcement mission.
