This solicitation is issued to establish an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for acquisition of or access to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic information resources for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or more specifically, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The intent of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to describe the operational requirements to obtain access to a National License Plate Recognition (NLPR) database service. The database should track vehicle license plate numbers that pass through cameras or are voluntarily entered into the system from a variety of sources (access control systems, asset recovery specialists, etc.) and uploaded to share with law enforcement. NLPR information will be used by DHS/ICE to assist in the location and arrest of absconders and criminal aliens. Officers should be able to query the NLPR database with license plate numbers based on investigative leads to determine where and when the vehicle has traveled. This information will assist in locating criminal aliens and absconders, and will enhance officer safety by enabling arrests to occur away from a subject’s residence. The use of NLPR will reduce the man-hours required to conduct surveillance.

The NLPR data service shall feature Smartphone technology based application for at least one Smartphone type, i.e. Android/iPhone/BlackBerry etc. currently in use by DHS/ICE....
