Closed‑Circuit Monitoring and Building Entry Modernization Project

The Closed-Circuit Monitoring and Building Entry Modernization Project, solicitation number 127EAX26Q0101, is a Request for Quotation issued by the USDA to replace an outdated analog CCTV and entry system at the Tree Fruit Research Laboratory in Wenatchee, Washington. The requirement seeks a modern, fully integrated, and USDA-approved IP/POE-based video surveillance and building entry solution, such as Avigilon. The scope of work includes the removal and disposal of existing analog components, the design, installation, configuration, and testing of new hardware—including 5MP cameras and an NVR with 90-day retention—and the implementation of employee RFID/PIN entry and remote door-open capabilities for administrative offices. The project must be completed within a mandatory 90-day performance period and includes deliverables such as end-user training and complete as-built documentation. This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) with a size standard of $25 million. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical factors including the offeror's work plan and capability, the experience and depth of key personnel, and the feasibility of the performance schedule. Award will be made to the highest technically rated offeror with a fair and reasonable price and acceptable past performance, noting that the government will not necessarily select the lowest-priced offeror and will not conduct tradeoffs. Contractors must comply with various federal regulations, including Buy American provisions and USDA safety standards, and must provide a site-specific safety plan and detailed personnel lists to demonstrate their ability to meet the project's rigorous timeline and technical requirements.
