AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking to award up to three Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) under a total small business set-aside to provide complete, turn-key modernization of Video Surveillance Systems and Physical Access Control Systems across the Coast Guard District Southwest Area of Operations, which includes California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. This solicitation, numbered 70Z03126QALAM2020, is issued as a combined synopsis and request for quote under FAR Subpart 12.6 and is strictly for commercial services classified under NAICS code 561621 with a size standard of $25 million. The requirement is unfunded at the BPA level, with pricing negotiated individually at the order level, though a specific project for an Electronic Security System security plan at Sector Humboldt Bay, McKinleyville, CA, requires detailed pricing breakdowns for labor, materials, and equipment with a 30-day performance period. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with completed FAR 52.212-3 representations, and submissions must include current, accurate certification statements, a point of contact authorized to bind the company, and acknowledgment of all amendments. The closing date for offers is August 7, 2026, and offers must remain valid for at least 30 days. Evaluation will be based on a best-value tradeoff where non-price factors—technical approach and past performance—are more important than price. The technical evaluation will assess the reasonableness of the proposed management approach for overseeing projects across the large geographic area and the qualifications of key personnel through submitted resumes. Past performance must include at least three recent, relevant contracts within the last five years, each with contact details. Pricing will be analyzed for completeness and reasonableness using FAR 15.404-1 techniques, but will not be scored. Offerors must also comply with multiple security and regulatory requirements including NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, NIST SP 800-116 Rev. 1, and the Revised 508 Standards for accessibility, and must implement Multi-Factor Authentication, provide a Software Bill of Materials prior to installation, and adhere to cybersecurity and supply chain risk management protocols. All deliverables must be formally accepted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative, with full system acceptance contingent on visual verification, remediation of all Critical and High vulnerability findings, and completion of operator training.

However, the government will not award to other than the low priced acceptable vendor if there is only a marginal benefit.
Interested contractors shall submit information addressing the factors below.
Technical:
1. Contractors shall provide a management approach that describes how projects issued on BPA call orders shall be supervised. The management approach shall consider the tasks in the SOW and shall take into consideration the geographic size of the Coast Guard District – Southwest Area of Operations.
2. Contractors shall provide resumes for key personnel identified in the SOW. Resumes shall highlight the qualifications of the proposed personnel for each position.
Past Performance:
Contractors shall submit adequate and relevant past performance information for at least three previous contracts held with Government Agencies or Private Industry for recent and relevant projects. Each reference shall include a point of contact name, email, and phone number.
Price:
Contractors shall provide pricing for the following project.
The project is to provide an Electronic Security System (ESS) security plan for Sector Humboldt Bay, McKinleyville, CA. The project requires the contractor to execute Task One (1) listed in the SOW. The project has a performance period of 30 calendar days. Pricing shall be submitted showing a separate price for labor, materials, and equipment needed to accomplish the project.
Evaluation:
The government shall evaluate the technical factors to determine if the management approach is reasonable and supports the tasks in the statement of work. Areas of the SOW that are not addressed in the management approach shall cause the offer to be evaluated as unacceptable. The management approach may be used by the contracting officer to determine if an offeror demonstrates sufficient understanding of the tasks and is able to complete the requirements in the SOW, or if discussions will be conducted.
Past Performance shall be evaluated to determine if it is recent (within the last 5 years) and relevant to the tasks in the SOW. Relevant is defined as similar in size, scope, and complexity to the tasks in the SOW. The government may use various past performance record systems to determine how well an offeror performed on submitted past performance references. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance evaluation can be reasonably assigned may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
The government shall evaluate pricing to determine whether proposed prices are complete and reasonable. Price will not be scored or rated. The government will evaluate price using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b).
Offers shall be emailed to the contracting officer and contract specialist.
