FY26 PIV CARD READER SYSTEM UPGRADE

The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division of the Federal Highway Administration is soliciting a proprietary software upgrade for its existing PIV card reader system integrated with Gallagher Security Management Software, intending to sole source the contract to Wycliffe Technologies as the original and authorized provider of the system. This upgrade is critical to maintaining secure and reliable access control through a sequence of required interim versions, and while the solicitation is issued under FAR 12.201-1 simplified procedures, all responsible sources have ten days from the posting date of May 26, 2026, to submit quotations. The solicitation number is 693C7326Q000012, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST, and the place of performance is Ashburn, Virginia. The contract falls under NAICS code 561621, and all offerors must maintain an active SAM.gov registration with a valid UEI and CAGE code, alongside compliance with multiple regulatory requirements including FAR 4.21 (Section 889) prohibiting the use of covered telecommunications equipment from sanctioned vendors, and adherence to Section 508 accessibility standards for all ICT deliverables. The contract includes strict invoicing procedures mandating electronic submission through the DOT’s Delphi eInvoicing system via login.gov, with no fax, email, or scanned invoices accepted, and requires detailed invoice data elements including COR/COTR and Contract Specialist identification. Offerors must also certify compliance with socioeconomic representations, prohibit racially discriminatory DEI practices, and flow down key clauses to subcontractors. No contract value is specified, and while pricing details are absent, the evaluation criteria and award basis are not outlined, implying that compliance and sole-source justification may be primary determinants. The period of performance and FOB terms are not defined, but delivery must occur at the Ashburn, VA location, and all products and services must conform to federal accessibility and supply chain security mandates.
