Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan
Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan :
A VRPP - or Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan - is an itemized list of the specific equipment that the responsible jurisdiction proposes to procure to mitigate the vulnerabilities identified in the BZPP for a given site. The VRPP must include the appropriate AEL number of the equipment to be procured, the proposed vendor, quantity, unit price, and shipping and handling/delivery costs. All items found in the VRPP must be identified in Section 8.4 of the BZPP; however, Section 8.4 may include additional recommended equipment purchases that will not be funded by DHS under the BZPP Program. Both the state and the responsible jurisdiction must sign off on the VRPP before it is sent to DHS, which has final approval over all equipment purchases.
