United States Secret Service Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) USSS-BAA-0001
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Vendors may submit video-based solutions that address one or more predefined focus areas, with a fast-track evaluation and direct feedback from DHS/USSS practitioners to support product development. Submissions can be made at any time and may follow multiple contract pathways (research, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, experimental production, and procurement for production). The effort is limited to unclassified materials, with no reimbursement for video or material development costs, and submissions and materials are treated as proprietary and not returned. A separate RFP will not be issued, and awards may be made under FAR or non-FAR authorities; submission requires identifying the focus area(s) addressed and including the focus area in the email subject line. Vimeo is now an accepted video submission method.
Amendments have added new focus areas and revised others: Focus Area 6 (Increasing physical security capabilities) and Focus Area 7 (High Resolution Banknote Processing System) were added with corresponding submission windows, and Focus Areas 5 and 3 were reopened or revised in later updates. A change also confirms that awards may be made by USSS or other DHS activities, and a sentence conflicting with CSOP Terms was removed. This program remains open through 2026, with future batch dates announced periodically.
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the United States Secret Service (USSS) offers vendors a streamlined submission process requiring minimal organizational and technical information. The process features a fast-track assessment with notifications provided within 10 business days of receipt (subject to submission volume). Organizations can submit solutions via video format at any time while the announcement remains open, with no limit to the number of submissions across their portfolio of relevant solutions. All video submissions must clearly identify which focus area(s) outlined in the BAA their solution is addressing. Additionally, these focus areas must be specified in the subject line of email submission. Participants will receive direct feedback from USSS community operators, customers, subject matter experts, and end users to support product development, iteration, and refinement. Multiple contract pathways are available, including research, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, procurement for experimental purposes, and production. This BAA will remain open until 31 January 2026, unless amended. The first batch of video submissions are due Wednesday, 29 January, 2025. Additional batch due dates will be posted throughout the BAA life. This BAA is issued in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.102 (d)(2) and FAR 35.016, although awards may be made based on FAR and non-FAR authorities. A separate Request for Proposal (RFP) or other solicitation document will NOT be issued. No funding for direct reimbursement of video/material development costs shall be allowed. Industry engagement and materials submitted under this announcement shall not be returned. It is the policy of DHS to treat all materials as proprietary information and to disclose their contents only for the purposes of evaluation. Please note only unclassified materials may be submitted.
