The United States Coast Guard is conducting a market research effort under FAR part 10 to identify qualified sources capable of providing TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) readers and associated software support services. The contract aims to establish an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) arrangement for a firm fixed price, covering an initial 12-month base period with four additional option periods. The scope includes supplying Hand-Held Multi-Mode Biometric Readers, along with comprehensive product support such as troubleshooting, hardware repairs, software patches and upgrades, and equipment refreshes due to end-of-life or updates to the Canceled Card List and Visual Canceled Card List. The hardware and software must conform to TSA TWIC Reader Hardware and Card Application Specifications, Version 1.1.1, and support various TWIC card versions, including future updates issued during the contract period. The readers are required to meet standards such as PIV-Interoperable (PIV-1), MIL-STD 810F, and support multiple authentication modes, biometric templates, and adaptability features outlined in specific sections and appendices of the TSA specifications. The contractor will also maintain a helpdesk log for all support requests on an annual basis. The solicitation is posted by the Department of Homeland Security, with a response deadline of January 28, 2025, and points of contact provided for further inquiries. This effort is part of the Coast Guard’s broader initiative to ensure secure, reliable biometric access control consistent with federal standards.
