Integrated Security SystemThe Department of Defense, through the W40M MRC0 West office at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, issued a Sources Sought notice (solicitation number PANHCA260000029576) on June 11, 2026, seeking capable Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC) under NAICS code 561621 to support the Integrated Security System at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC). This market research effort aims to identify potential contractors for a future firm-fixed-price contract anticipated to begin in June 2026, with a base period of 12 months and four one-year options, plus possible extensions up to six months. The scope of work involves sustainment support, management, and technical services for critical security systems including the Electronic Security System (ESS), CCTV/Qognify, NICE Vision Pro recorders, and the HUGS Infant/Pediatric Protection System. The support covers a robust and expansive security infrastructure comprising approximately 3,500 proximity readers and control devices, 800 secure monitoring points including 500 duress buttons, and network elements throughout the BAMC campus and associated facilities. Contractor responsibilities encompass full lifecycle maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, upgrades, and performance assurance with stringent uptime requirements—99.9% for the HUGS system. Deliverables include annual work plans, monthly performance and uptime reports, quarterly test and corrective action reports, updated system drawings, spare parts inventories, and detailed technical and personnel documentation including certifications and clearances. Compliance with security, personnel conduct, conflict of interest, and information safeguarding requirements is mandatory. Contractor personnel must meet stringent qualifications, provide detailed resumes and training records prior to assignment, and maintain all required clearances. The contract prohibits employing current government or military personnel in violation of ethics standards and restricts hiring relatives of government staff involved in contract administration. All work must be performed on-site at BAMC, and proprietary data handling is tightly controlled. Responses to this sources sought are due by March 20, 2026, with submission guidelines specifying detailed capability statements addressing past performance, company profile, socioeconomic status, and compliance ability but do not constitute a solicitation or request for proposal at this stage.
