63--Walk Through Metal Detector

This is a sources sought announcement only and is not an intent to procure. A solicitation is not available at this time and any requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. The White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico Fast Burst Sited Defense Force is conducting market research to determine the capability in regards to the installation, technical support, training and repair services for a walk through metal detector. Metal Detector Minimum Requirements: Must meet the National Institute of Justice Standard 0601.02 Must be able to detect and locate guns, knives, and other flat and rod-shaped objects regardless of orientation All electronics shall be modular in design The detector shall use multiple coil circuits with dual alarm lights to indicate which side of the individual the detected item is located Must be capable of self-diagnostics and capable of self testing of all systems to identify failures The detection unit shall not require re-calibration each time the system is turned off and back on Must provide fully body coverage: coverage on the left, center, right, front, and back of the body from head to floor, providing uniform detection The unit must include individual zones that are adjustable for customization of detection characteristics and/or compensation for metallic environmental challenges Must have the capability to detect and discriminate signals from two (2) or more detectable items located in close proximity that may be detected as only one (1) Must include adjustable legs to provide for accurate leveling on uneven floors Major components include: 1. Walk-through portal/passage way 2. Control Unit 3. Test Unit TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Operating Temperatures: -4 F (-20 C) to 158 F (70 C)95% humidity non-condensing Power Supply Unit: Fully automatic input 100 to 240 VAC 50 or 60 Hz - five (5) watts; Uninterrupted Power supply (UPS); Battery Backup (12 hours) Construction Minimum: 3/32 in. (2.381mm) aluminum in strength and weather resistant Opening Sizes: Interior Height: 80 in.(2.032 meters) Interior Width: 30 in. (762mm) Programmable: Capable of 16 independent programs settings for zones and sensitivity Sensitivity Boost: Three (3) levels at ankle level Detection Sensors: Multi-dimensional coil 33 distinct pinpoint zones - customizable Sensitivity Levels: 200 Interference Protection: Faraday shielding Alarms: Audible and light-emitting diode (LED)Visual Testing Device: Simulate size, shape, and composition of threat objects meet FAA testing requirements Traffic Flow Indicators: LED Lights Infrared Sensor: Traffic control and counter Control Unit: Shall consist of the components to constantly monitor, input settings, and verify inputs of sensors. The Control Unit shall consist of the components to constantly monitor, input settings, and verify inputs of sensors. The control unit is to be attached to the exit side of the scanner and shall be able to be detached and operational from up to 300 feet from the detector. The control unit will consist of a multiple functional electronic digital keypad/touchpad. The keypad/touchpad requires human/machine interface (HMI) with numerical or function keys that can activate, deactivate, observe or change sensitivity and detector settings using secure codes. The Control Unit shall be programmed to be self-prompting for input. The LCD display shall be large, easily seen, backlit with alphanumeric display that reports in words to regulate, control and provide self-prompt functions of the control unit. CONTROL UNIT TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Display: LCD Connection to Unit: Wired with extension of 300 ft. for remote use Touchpad Controls: Operate, Off, Counter, Volume, +/-, Program and Access Tamper alarm: 10 seconds after access of touchpad Access Control: Dual-level access codes for Operators and Supervisors Displays: LED bar-graphs for Detection, Sensitivity, Alarm lights, Functionality, Program in Operation, Errors, Traffic count, Alarm activations and Alarm percentages CONTROL UNIT INTERFACE: The system shall include an interface module for network transmission of data and remote monitoring of system at the Physical Access Control System and Database Management. Integration with the Physical Access Control System and Database Management shall allow for control, real time monitoring and diagnostics capabilities. CONTROL UNIT INTERFACE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Display : LCD (laptop or Desktop Monitor) Connection: 10-Base T Network System Capabilities: Monitor up to 4 scanners Capabilities: Change settings, LED bar-graph display, Functionality, Program in operation, Errors, Traffic Count, Alarm activations, Alarm Percentages, Technician trouble-shoot Access Control: Dual-level access codes, Operators, and Supervisory Each potential source shall provide a brief description of their ability to install, provide technical support, training and repair services for the walk through metal detector by providing the contract number(s), dollar value(s) and brief description of work previously or currently being performed, which specifically demonstrates the contractor's ability to successfully satisfy the requirements of the installation, providing technical support, training and repair services for the walk through metal detector.
