Primary Latest Change

The Military and Community Relations Office of the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism is requesting proposals for Hawai i Homeland Security Synchronization and Integration. This effort builds off the deliverables of a previous contract with MACRO and the State of Hawai'i Office of Homeland Security (OHS). Those deliverables focused on synchronization of State homeland security and defense efforts between federal and State agencies and included: o Problem Identification o Conditions and Actions o Operational Approach o Strategic Plan The final deliverable produced under the previous contract, which provides a problem statement and addresses the existing conditions, the desired approach, and a Plan of Action is included as an attachment to this RFP. This effort is also in support of that Plan of Action, to include OHS' previously published Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Program Implementation Plan and Cybersecurity Strategy and Implementation Plan. In support of national and state homeland security objectives, this effort translates strategic guidance into actionable exercises and plans to enhance resiliency across the state, and interagency coordination in Hawaii, and military readiness and mission assurance. Two parallel work streams will be conducted: o Tabletop Exercises (TTXs) to synchronize homeland security and defense response across state and federal partners. o Infrastructure Resilience Review for key civilian and military-supporting systems on Oahu, integrating DoD insights with state and county priorities.
