Quick Summary
The Department of the Interior (DOI), on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), intends to award a sole source contract to Vantor Services Inc. for the DHS Forecasting and Analytics for Law Enforcement Operations and Networks (FALCON) Program. This requirement provides essential analytics capabilities for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to detect illicit activities. This is a sole source procurement under FAR 6.103, as Vantor Services Inc. is deemed the only responsible source.
Purpose & Scope
The objective is to develop and integrate an analytic environment, including necessary information technology (IT) infrastructure (classified and unclassified), applications, data science, and analytic methodologies. This environment will perform spatiotemporal analytics, providing real-time detection and reporting of illicit activities within and across U.S. borders, utilizing streaming data sources at scale. The program supports critical operational needs for CBP and USCG.
Contract Details & Rationale
The anticipated contract will be a single, stand-alone agreement with three Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for labor and three Cost type CLINs for Other Direct Costs (ODCs). The period of performance is three years from the date of award, with work performed at the contractor's facilities. The rationale for sole source is that Vantor Services Inc. is uniquely capable of providing the necessary shared resources, algorithms, data, source code, and interoperability required for this acquisition. The NAICS code is 541715 and the Product Service Code is AJ11.
