RFP-758-2700000043-2 | Security and Surveillance RFP Rebid

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Finance and Administration Cabinet and the Commonwealth Office of Technology, is soliciting proposals for the Security and Surveillance RFP Rebid (RFP 758 2700000043). This statewide initiative seeks to award up to two contracts for the provision of security and surveillance hardware, software, systems, and services, including video surveillance and access controls. The scope of work requires vendors to provide new equipment, maintain manufacturer certifications, and ensure systems achieve a minimum uptime of 99%. All installations must comply with Kentucky building codes, NEC, NFPA 70, and NFPA 72. The final deadline for proposal submission is October 30, 2026, at 15:30. Proposals must be submitted in three separate parts: a Technical Proposal, a Cost Proposal, and Proprietary Information. The Technical Proposal must include a signed transmittal letter and a completed Mandatory Requirements Checklist, while the Cost Proposal requires not-to-exceed hourly labor rates, manufacturer discount matrices, and pricing for two specific mock project scenarios. Evaluation is based on technical merit (1,000 points), cost (500 points), and potential oral demonstrations (500 points). Award preferences are given to Kentucky resident bidders and Qualified Bidders. Contractors must adhere to strict data residency requirements, ensuring all Commonwealth data remains within the contiguous United States. Security standards include mandatory encryption for sensitive data and compliance with the CIO-126 Artificial Intelligence Policy. Vendors are required to provide as-built documentation and all system credentials upon project closeout. Payment is typically issued within 30 working days following the acceptance of goods or services by the using agency, which is also responsible for the final comprehensive inspection before the warranty period begins.
