Perimeter Security Detection System

The Federal Prison System / Bureau of Prisons is forecasting a sole source procurement under the 8(a) program for a Perimeter Security Detection System that integrates LIDAR, radar, and FLIR multispectral cameras to enhance security monitoring capabilities nationwide. The system is intended to provide advanced, all-weather, day-and-night detection and recognition of intrusions along prison perimeters, leveraging multispectral sensor fusion for improved accuracy and reduced false alarms. The contract is designated as an 8(a) Sole Source, indicating it is reserved exclusively for a small business certified under the SBA’s 8(a) Business Development program, with the NAICS code 334511 corresponding to Searching and Detection Instrument Manufacturing. Performance of the work is expected to be nationwide, allowing for deployment across multiple Bureau of Prisons facilities without geographic restriction. The procurement is being managed by Calvin Price as the primary point of contact, with David Orrantia serving as the Small Business Specialist to oversee compliance with 8(a) program requirements. The forecast was posted on August 10, 2026, and while no solicitation number is yet assigned, interested 8(a)-certified vendors are encouraged to prepare proposals in anticipation of a future formal release. The system’s capabilities are critical to modernizing perimeter security infrastructure within federal correctional institutions.
