The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center is a Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored organization whose purpose is to leverage the best expertise from industry, other government agencies and academia to solve th
e government’s toughest
scientific and technical problems. HDIAC provides information, analysis and collaboration while maintaining an extensive Scientific and Technical Information (STI) database. HDIAC covers topics in the following focus areas:
• Alternative Energy
• Biometrics
• Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN)
Defense
• Critical Infrastructure Protection
• Cultural Studies
• Homeland Defense and Security
• Medical
• Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
HDIAC was established to save DoD scientists substantial time and effort by quickly locating key information and providing analytical support to address critical emerging needs in a timely manner. HDIAC can help you by quickly locating STI, providing analytical support and connecting you with subject matter experts (SME) in the eight focus areas. HDIAC offers Technical Inquiry services, including literature searches and document requests, in all eight focus areas where four hours of technical research are free. HDIAC also offers a contract vehicle called a Core Analysis Task (CAT). The CAT is a sole source, pre-competed, easy to use contract vehicle. Because of a CAT’s rapid start-work time, ease of use and best value, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense has requested that all Requiring Officers and Contracting Officers use IACs as vehicles of first choice. CATs are separately funded work efforts over and above basic HDIAC products and services. Industry and academia, in partnership with at least one government agency, or an individual government agency may establish task orders through HDIAC.
