Customs and Border Protection (CBP) this week issued a Request for Proposals from small businesses for the Mobile Video Surveillance System (MVSS), which would consist of a day/night surveillance capability on a mast that would be installed onboard Boder Patrol 4×4 vehicles for use wherever they can safely maneuver.
CBP said the program is worth up to $50 million over five and a half years if all options are exercised.
The MVSS systems will be deployed to provide surveillance to an onboard operator when intelligence indicators signal that items of interest are in or approaching an area. The systems will augment fixed surveillance systems that have line-of-sight coverage gaps caused by existing infrastructure, terrain or vegetation.
The systems will mostly be used at night. [Sol. No. HSBP1012R0054. Respond by June 4. Contact: Nicole Hubby, [email protected].]
