DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security has developed the Urban Areas
Security Initiative (UASI) grant funding program. UASI is designed to address the
unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density
urban areas and provides funds to local emergency first responders that assist in
building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect, respond to, mitigate
and recover from acts of terrorism. The grant specifically provides funding for anti-
terrorism equipment, planning, training, exercises, and technical assistance. Santa Ana
has been designated as an Urban Area Core City since 2003. As such, for selected
grant years, Santa Ana is the fiduciary for the region and manages projects, which

includes providing training and procuring equipment utilized by the 34 jurisdictions in
Orange County.
In an effort to address the unique needs of a high-density, high-threat urban area, the
Anaheim/ Santa Ana Urban Area (ASAUA) allocates a set percentage of its annual
grant allocation to fund training for the Orange County region. With program
management from the Santa Ana Police Department Homeland Security Division, the
ASAUA Homeland Security Regional Training Program is designed to provide the
ASAUA multi-disciplinary stakeholders with regional training necessary to meet the
goals and objectives set forth in the ASAUA's homeland security strategy and target
capabilities identified in the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
(THIRA). The goal of these agreements is to enhance the capabilities of the current
program by providing access to a wide range of multi-disciplinary training in support of a
comprehensive and regional approach.
On December 18, 2023 the Police Department issued three (3) Requests for Proposals
(RFP #23-187A, #23-188A, and #23-189A) on the City’s online bid management and
publication system to identify and qualify suitable vendors capable of delivering a broad
choice of homeland security related training courses taught by subject matter experts
and/or recognized professionals in the fields of fire, public health, and emergency
management.
A summary of the proposals and offers received is as follows:
1,517 Vendors were notified
0 Santa Ana vendors notified
51 Vendors downloaded the RFP
15 Proposals received
0 Proposals received from a Santa Ana vendor
Proposals were opened on January 11, 2024 and evaluated. An evaluation team
reviewed and rated all proposals received to determine if necessary qualifications were
met. The proposals were evaluated and scored according to criteria identified within the
RFP, including Responsiveness to RFP (15%), Experience of Firm and Personnel
(50%), Reasonableness of Cost (25%), and References (10%).
Of the 15 proposals received, all 15 were determined to be responsive and qualified
based on their response to the specifications and requirements identified by the City.
After the evaluation process, the Santa Ana Police Department Homeland Security
Division determined that the following vendors best met the City’s specifications,
demonstrated vast experience working with similar-sized California public agencies, and
would be best suited to provide training courses on an as-needed basis:

Now, entities doing business with the federal government use the Unique Entity ID created in SAM.gov.
They no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier. This transition allows the
government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less
burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.
