Security Services at Hawaii State Hospital

The Hawaiʻi State Hospital is seeking industry input through a Request for Information to inform the development of a future procurement process for security services, with a solicitation posted on July 16, 2025, and responses due by July 31, 2025. The anticipated contract, managed by the Hawaii Health Systems Corporation, is estimated to be valued between five and ten million dollars and falls under NAICS code 561612, which covers security guard and patrol services. The scope encompasses comprehensive security coverage across the hospital campus, including forensic and lower-acuity units, residential cottages, and support facilities, emphasizing personnel licensing, confidentiality, and adherence to hospital policies. The contract emphasizes strict personnel qualifications, background checks, licensing in accordance with Hawaii law, and confidentiality under HIPAA, with provisions for incident investigation, conflict of interest disclosures, and immediate removal of personnel if standards are not met. The contractual framework relies primarily on state statutes, notably Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 463 for licensing and HRS §328F for campus conduct, with no explicit federal FAR clauses incorporated. The agreement requires the contractor to provide uniforms, identification badges, and vehicle decals, and to maintain proper identification and marking standards without specific bar-coding or MIL-STD requirements. Performance is to be conducted on-site at the hospital, with ongoing staffing, scheduling, and reporting obligations, but no fixed performance period or delivery schedule is specified in the current documentation. The process is at the RFI stage, with future procurement expected to include detailed evaluation criteria, award basis, and contractual terms. Respondents are invited to submit their information via email or mail, with no mandated proposal format or length, and are encouraged to contact designated hospital officials for further details or clarification.
