Security Integrators, Services and Product Providers (Pre-Qualification)

North Carolina State University's Security Applications and Technologies department is seeking proposals under solicitation 63-KGS1170747 to establish a pre-qualified pool of security system integrators, product providers, and service providers. The scope includes the supply of security hardware, cabling, installation materials, and related integration, maintenance, programming, and monitoring services. This is a pre-qualification effort where selected vendors will become eligible to receive project-specific requests for quotations via individual purchase orders. The resulting agreements will have an initial term of one year, with the possibility of four one-year extensions for a maximum total of five years. Proposals are evaluated on a two-stage pass/fail basis, focusing first on administrative completeness and insurance compliance, and second on qualifications, experience, and references. Class A designation requires active North Carolina Alarm and Low Voltage licenses, as well as the ability to provide technicians within a two-hour response time of the central campus. Pricing is established through hourly labor rates and maximum markup percentages for materials. All work must be performed on the NC State University campus in compliance with state and federal laws, industry best practices, and manufacturer specifications. Proposals must be submitted digitally via the Bonfire portal by November 12, 2026.
