Federal Protective Services (FPS) Intrusion Detection System (IDS) PA0515

This contract involves the complete removal and replacement of the existing Federal Protective Service (FPS) Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which is currently outdated and comprises three separate systems. The project includes purchasing and installing a new, integrated IDS system that will continue to operate alongside the existing perimeter alarm system, primarily wireless. A key component of the upgrade is the integration of the new IDS with the VA access control system for designated perimeter doors, requiring the contractor to coordinate with the VA’s ACS provider to ensure proper integration of door contacts and access controls, as the VA maintains ownership of the ACS infrastructure. The solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside program, with responses due by September 2, 2025. The contract is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Information Technology Acquisition Center, located in Washington, D.C., with the performance site in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Interested parties can contact the designated points of contact via email or phone for further details. The procurement emphasizes the need for seamless integration with existing VA systems and requires adherence to federal procurement standards.
