Webinar: DHS Procurement Opportunities – Thursday, April 1

(Homeland Security Today)

Date: Thursday April 1, 2010, 1:30-2:30 EST

Cost: US$59.99

Congress may be debating next year's spending bills, but the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not yet spent most of the money it received for this year. Congress appropriated $42.8 billion in discretionary funds for DHS in fiscal 2010.

DHS will spend most of that money in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, beginning April 1. DHS also has a good chunk of nearly $3 billion in Recovery Act funding that it still must spend by the end of this fiscal year.

Join Homeland Security Today in a webinar on April 1 to examine where contract opportunities lie for the rest of the fiscal year at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and others in the coming months.

• What are DHS’ major information technology investments for the rest of the year?

• What screening technologies will be introduced in US air, land and sea ports?

• How is DHS making purchases to support its efforts to fight illegal immigration and smuggling?

Please join us for a 30-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute Q&A on spending priorities in the remaining fiscal 2010 DHS budget. For questions, please contact Sue Stott at suestott@hstoday.us. To register online, click here,
