INL/WHP: Rapid Response Solution

The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Western Hemisphere Programs (WHP) is seeking information from manufacturers, suppliers, and integrators to identify qualified sources capable of providing a rapid response solution for riot control and civil unrest situations within the Western Hemisphere. The solution should include equipment such as riot control equipment and crowd control munitions, as well as rapid deployment logistics and regional expertise. The Government is looking for companies with demonstrated capabilities in these areas and is seeking specific technical, operational, and commercial information to inform acquisition strategy and plan for long-term maintenance and support. Some key points to consider include: • Riot control equipment and crowd control munitions (CCM) • Rapid deployment logistics • Regional expertise in the Western Hemisphere • Export control compliance (ITAR/EAR) and Leahy Law vetting processes • Innovative and emerging technologies for civil unrest response • Ability to deliver equipment in-country within 24-72 hours • Experience with time-definite delivery contracts or emergency/contingency procurement vehicles • Pre-award agreements, teaming arrangements, or partnerships with logistics providers, freight forwarders, or in-country distributors
