2026 A/V SYSTEM COURTROOM TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE

The U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico is soliciting offers for a firm fixed price contract to upgrade audiovisual systems in one, two, or three courtrooms located at 300 Calle del Recinto Sur, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The project involves the removal and inventory of existing equipment, elimination of obsolete cabling, and installation of new audio, video, control systems, and ancillary hardware in accordance with detailed drawings and the Statement of Work. Performance is restricted to weekday business hours, and all personnel must complete HSPD-12 background checks prior to site access. The contract requires comprehensive documentation deliverables including as-built drawings, functional block diagrams, test data, operational manuals, and warranty information. Compliance with industry standards such as NFPA 70-2020, ISO 9001-2015, and various FCC, UL, and SMPTE specifications is mandatory, and the system must function without warranty-related interventions for 30 consecutive days after final acceptance. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site, with the Government retaining authority to approve or reject performance based on technical conformance. The solicitation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation method, where proposals must first meet minimum technical criteria to be eligible for award, with price being the sole deciding factor among qualified respondents. Contractors must submit a complete proposal including one original, two hard copies, and one PDF electronic copy with indexed bookmarks, along with completed clause fill-ins for Key Personnel, Contracting Officer’s Representative, and Insurance requirements. The Project Manager is designated as a key personnel position, requiring submission of resumes with full employment history, certifications, and citizenship details; any substitution requires 30 to 60 days’ advance notice and written approval based on clearance status. Packaging must protect equipment from salt, moisture, and extreme temperatures during transit, and all work must be performed in compliance with Judiciary access rules and safety protocols. No pricing information is provided in the solicitation, precluding a contract value estimate, but options exist for additional courtrooms. The response deadline is August 7, 2026, and all submissions must be sealed with electronic copies sent via email or CD to the designated Contracting Officer.
