What is Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO) looking for?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Office of University Programs issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking input from the scientific community regarding the continued use of Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) to accommodate DHS requirements for Centers of Excellence (COE) research, analysis, and technical services. The RFI covers Phase XI of the COE BOAs and identifies thrust areas including emerging animal diseases, explosives detection, border security, immigration studies, and other homeland security topics.

Based on the success of the current BOA vehicles, DHS S&T, OUP intends to issue a BOA to University of Houston for Center for Borders, Trade, and Immigration Research (BTI). Mission: Conducts research and education to enhance the nation’s ability to secure our borders and facilitate legitimate trade, travel, and immigration. The new five-year BOA will accommodate additional DHS requirements for COE research, analysis, and technical services. The BOA will be issued for a five-year period, ending in 2031. OUP estimates the value of the task orders issued under this BOA to range from $0.25 - $9 million, and $1-$3 million annually depending on the task orders awarded. We based this estimate on the following: 1. The historical funding of projects as assistance supplements. 2. As the COEs mature and build up their capabilities/tools, the DHS S&T’s customers will seek to use those capabilities and tools more. 3. Use of a procurement action in lieu of obtaining assistance authority will allow more DHS S&T customers to utilize the capacity developed at the COEs. See attached file.
