Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought: 191NLE23N0005 INL/Haiti Vehicle Tracking System The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet these goals is to partner with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies. DESCRIPTION This procurement is specifically for GPS trackers for unarmored vehicles and Blue force tracking (BFT) systems for armored vehicles of the Haitian National Police (HNP). INL has recently supplied 100 unarmored vehicles to the HNP and assisted in the delivery of another 18 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles. These vehicles are critical to allow the HNP’s mobility in combatting gang violence across Port-au-Prince and Haiti’s regional departments. As these vehicles become targets for gangs, GPS trackers and BFTs will support the HNP’s ability to track and recover stolen vehicles, as well as provide remote secure engine cut-off (SECO) functionality to disable vehicles and prevent loss. Both the GPS trackers and BFT systems must not be easily removed or disabled by non-HNP technicians. The concealment of GPT trackers will prevent gangs from easily and removing the devices. These devices will be used in vehicles deployed for anti-gang operations, so their reliability in austere environments is a requirement. Contractors will also provide essential accessories to enable the use of GPS trackers and BFT, to include battery packs, cabling, memory cards, laptop terminals, and any required installation.
