Opportunity Summary:
The GLANSER (Geospatial Location Accountability Navigation System for Emergency Responders) opportunity was published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of Procurement Operations, Grants Division, under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area and is associated with CFDA 97.108, which covers homeland security research, testing, evaluation, and demonstration of technologies. In practical terms, this means DHS was seeking ideas, prototypes, or R and D efforts related to improving how emergency responders can be located, tracked, and navigated during incidents, with an emphasis on accountability and reliable geospatial positioning.
The funding opportunity number is BAA09 02, and it was posted on February 3, 2009, with a closing deadline of April 22, 2009. The archive date listed is May 22, 2009, indicating the opportunity is no longer active after that point. The opportunity category is discretionary, and the listed funding instruments include cooperative agreements, grants, and other mechanisms, including procurement contracts. No cost share or matching requirement is indicated, so applicants were not required to provide a specific non-federal match as a condition of eligibility based on the summary information provided. The notice lists an award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically signals that specific award sizes were not pre-set in the summary record and that the BAA document itself would define expected ranges, project scopes, or funding limits.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted and open to all responsible sources, meaning the competition was broadly available to any qualified entity (for example, private companies, universities, nonprofits, labs, or other organizations), subject to any additional clarifications that might appear in the full BAA text. Applicants were directed to retrieve the full announcement either through FedBizOpps (as it existed at the time) at http://www.FedBizOpps.gov or through the DHS Science and Technology BAA portal at https://BAA.ST.DHS.gov, where the detailed technical goals, submission requirements, evaluation criteria, and program expectations would be laid out.
A major administrative point emphasized in the announcement is the handling of proprietary information. Data submitted through FedBizOpps or emailed to the designated DHS addresses (BAA09 02@dhs.gov for submissions and BAA09 02Questions@dhs.gov for questions) was described as protected from public view or download. Submissions were to be treated as proprietary and source selection sensitive, accessible only to the registrant, authorized government personnel, and assigned evaluators. This language is meant to reassure applicants that concept papers, white papers, and proposals containing sensitive technical or business details would be handled under restricted access rather than being released publicly.
The announcement is also strict about deadlines: late white papers and late full proposals would not be accepted after the published due dates. That kind of language is common in federal solicitations and is intended to eliminate ambiguity around extensions, so applicants would have needed to plan for on-time submission and any internal review cycles well ahead of the April 22, 2009 closing date.
For communication and support, the notice directs all BAA-related correspondence to BAA09 02Questions@dhs.gov and instructs applicants to use the subject line "DHS ST BAA09 02 GLANSER" to ensure messages are routed correctly. The listed technical point of contact is Jalal Mapar (Jalal.Mapar@dhs.gov), and the business point of contact is Joseph Wolfinger (Joseph.Wolfinger@dhs.gov). If an applicant had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a grants officer contact: Barbara Fuller, reachable at 609 813 2834, with the note that this phone line is for grants contact only.
Overall, GLANSER is presented as an open competition under a DHS S and T BAA framework, focused on geospatial location, navigation, and accountability capabilities for emergency responders, with broad eligibility, protected handling of submitted materials, and firm submission deadlines, with the full technical and administrative requirements contained in the downloadable BAA package referenced in the notice.
