Homeland Security Grant Program Service

The Town of Braintree, Massachusetts, is seeking a vendor to provide Homeland Security Grant Program services. This federally funded program aims to fulfill, sustain, and expand capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorist or other extremist attacks in the Commonwealth. The agency is trying to solve the problem of vulnerability in soft targets and crowded places by enhancing their protection, though there is no mandated minimum spend for this specific activity. The scope of work covers the development of whole community partnerships through groups such as Citizen Corp Councils. The selected vendor must also establish structures and mechanisms for information sharing between the public and private sectors. Additionally, the project requires implementing models, programs, and workforce enhancement initiatives to address ideologically-inspired radicalization to violence. Bidders must perform all work onsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost.
