Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) Phase III

The Port of Seattle’s Aviation Project Management Group is forecasting the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) Phase III project, which will establish the foundational power and communication infrastructure necessary to support advanced PIDS components including Lidar, Radar, and camera systems. This initiative aims to enhance security across airport perimeters by enabling reliable, real-time monitoring and detection capabilities through integrated sensor technology. The project is currently in a pre-solicitation phase with no formal solicitation number assigned, and no set-aside type or NAICS code has been specified. All work is expected to occur at Port of Seattle facilities, though the exact location details are not yet defined. Primary point of contact for the project is Yanet Maldonado, reachable via phone or email, with Michelle Carioto serving as the Project Manager for technical coordination. Interested parties should monitor the official Port of Seattle SOPS portal for future solicitation releases, as no formal deadline or bid submission window has been established. The forecasting notice indicates a planned deployment timeline, with the posting date listed as August 1, 2026, suggesting the project will be formally solicited in the near future. Bidders should prepare for requirements related to robust, secure, and weather-resistant infrastructure capable of supporting continuous operation of high-performance sensing devices in an airport environment.
