This government file details system requirements for the M2S2 (Mobile Surveillance System) project, covering functional, environmental, and modularity objectives. The document outlines 271 functional requirements, including detection, identification, tracking, autonomy, communication, usability, security, and interoperability. It specifies performance capabilities, such as detection ranges, tracking speeds, and data processing times, along with evidence of compliance (Tested, Analysis, Demonstrated, Inspected). The file also lists 21 environmental conditions the system must withstand, like extreme temperatures, humidity, sand, dust, salt fog, and various terrains. Additionally, it presents 13 optional modularity objectives, focusing on UAS detection, vessel detection, enhanced autonomy, additional equipment configurations, system integration with CBP systems, future sustainment, and system adaptation. Contractors are required to indicate compliance, performance capabilities, and evidence of system compliance for each requirement.
The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) is seeking a Modular Mobile Surveillance System (M2S2) to enhance land surveillance capabilities for detecting, identifying, classifying, and tracking individuals, groups, and conveyances engaged in unlawful border activities. This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for the M2S2, which will be a mobile surveillance asset integrated into a commercially available 4x4 vehicle. Key requirements include persistent surveillance (8-16 hours), autonomous operation with real-time alerts, detection range of 2-5 miles, and the ability to track objects moving at 0-75 mph. The system must feature an open architecture for interoperability with other CBP systems, modularity for sensor integration, and secure remote operation. The SOW covers M2S2 unit delivery, program management, engineering support, extensive testing and evaluation, operator and maintainer training, a 12-month warranty, and comprehensive maintenance and logistical support. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary supplies and services, including authentic CISCO hardware for network connectivity and ensuring compliance with federal radio regulations. The M2S2 aims to adapt to shifting threat patterns, operate day and night in diverse terrains, and provide real-time intelligence to field agents and command centers, significantly enhancing border security operations.
The government is soliciting innovative and commercially available solutions for its M2S2 modularity objectives, focusing on capabilities not currently known to the government. These optional objectives will be considered in the overall evaluation. Bidders must describe M2S2 capabilities that detect, identify, and track various UAS types (RF Group 1 & 2, Non-RF, Ultralight) with high accuracy, suitable for cueing counter-UAS systems. They must also detail M2S2 capabilities for detecting, tracking, and reporting on vessels, including detection range and performance under various weather conditions. Autonomous detection and reporting for UAS, vehicles, vessels, and other IoIs under different environmental factors are also required. The solicitation seeks descriptions of additional equipment configurations beyond integrated truck platforms, including trailer and mobile tower solutions, with extended power and mast options. Bidders should also outline command and control solutions that integrate with CBP systems, system integration capabilities for meshing with other M2S2 units and USBP systems, and system design and data for transitioning to organic or third-party logistics sustainment. Finally, the proposal requests information on M2S2 adaptability to other command and control and Common Operational Picture systems, and any additional modularity capabilities deemed of interest to the government.
The United States Border Patrol's Modular Mobile Surveillance System (M2S2) Program outlines a comprehensive set of deliverables from the contractor, covering logistics, program management, manufacturing, and systems engineering. Key deliverables include various training materials (Operator, Train-the-Trainer, Maintenance), user and maintenance manuals, and critical logistics documents such as the Integrated Contractor Support Plan, Transition Plan, Spares and Consumables List, and Support Equipment and Tools Listing. Programmatic requirements encompass a Manufacturing Plan and Monthly Status Reports. Each deliverable is detailed with its purpose, submittal dates, and preparation instructions, ensuring the contractor provides thorough documentation and support for the M2S2 system throughout its lifecycle, from initial deployment to long-term sustainment and eventual transition to government maintenance.
This government document, likely an addendum or clarification within an RFP or similar procurement process, states that all government responses to questions or comments will be publicly posted on Sam.gov for all vendors to access. It also explicitly notes that the government reserves the right to choose whether or not to respond to questions or comments received. The document's structure, with placeholders for 'Document Section' and 'Page Number,' suggests it is a formal communication related to public sector solicitations.
