J063--Building 350 Avigilon Security

The Department of Veterans Affairs through the 250-NETWORK Contract Office 10 is preparing to solicit services for an access control system upgrade at Building 350 of the Dayton VA Medical Center, with the solicitation expected to be issued on or about July 6, 2026, and responses due by July 27, 2026. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside procurement under NAICS code 811210. The project requires replacing the existing Honeywell and C-Cure access control systems with an Avigilon Physical Access Control System, upgrading 16 access-controlled doors identified as 101A, 147D, 112, 122C, 132D, 103B, 108, 119, 128A, 138A, 147E, and 115A, with the clarification that although 16 door designations are listed, only 12 actual physical access-controlled doors are involved. All existing hardware including card readers, locks, REX devices, door contacts, and cabling are to be reused and are confirmed to be functional and compatible with the new Avigilon system; no replacement of hardware or cabling is required. The upgrade includes replacing the existing control enclosures and panels with new Avigilon components, specifically one Mercury MP1502 and one Mercury MR-52-S3B controller, along with a 24-port Lantronix SM24TAT2S4 network switch featuring one fiber and one Ethernet uplink port to support potential future camera expansion. Life safety power requirements specify replacing current power supplies with either two FPO 150-B100C808PE4M units or four FPO 75-B100C4D8PE2M units, and wiring the new enclosures. Existing fiber-to-Ethernet media converters are to remain in place. All work is to be performed at 4100 West Third Street, Dayton, Ohio, 45428, and the requirement is structured to leverage existing infrastructure wherever possible while ensuring full interoperability with the new Avigilon platform.
