Working with Us

Contracting with the Homeland Security Studies and Analysis Institute

HSSAI is a not-for-profit federally funded research and development center. It operates under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract vehicle between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Analytic Services Inc. This vehicle allows us to provide a wide array of services and solutions to our customers.

Our primary sponsor is the Under Secretary for Science and Technology, but we provide support to all elements of DHS. Also, by charter, we are allowed to provide homeland security-focused support to all organizations in the homeland security enterprise, including other federal government agencies, state and local governments, and nonprofit/nongovernmental organizations.

We perform a variety of homeland security studies and analyses:

  • Analysis of alternatives
  • Concept of operations
  • System evaluations
  • Operational assessments
  • Strategic planning, policy, and program development
  • Risk-informed resource analyses
  • Model development
  • High-level systems engineering assessments
  • Exercise and simulation development

Tasks must be consistent with our mission, legislative purpose, and capabilities. Detailed policies and procedures can be found in DHS Management Directive 143-04.
