Key Management System Supply and Integration

The contract calls for the supply and integration of a standalone, on-premise electronic key management system designed to securely store between 800 and 1,000 physical keys, with full control over access maintained locally without reliance on cloud services. The system must enforce role-based access control to ensure only authorized personnel can retrieve specific keys and must include comprehensive audit logging capabilities to track all access events, including user identification, timestamp, and key retrieval details. Integration must be seamless over a local area network to allow for centralized administration and monitoring within the embassy’s existing infrastructure, ensuring operational continuity and compliance with security protocols that prohibit external connectivity. The system is intended for use at the US Embassy in Vienna and must be fully functional within the embassy’s physical and cybersecurity environment. Delivery and installation are expected to meet strict security and operational standards aligned with Department of State requirements, with all hardware and software components verified as secure, tamper-resistant, and capable of long-term maintenance without third-party vendor dependencies. Bids are due by July 27, 2026, and the procurement is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 334511, reflecting its focus on electronic computing equipment manufacturing. The embassy requires a turnkey solution that can be deployed immediately upon delivery, with no external data transmission or internet connectivity permitted at any stage of operation.
