The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District, anticipates issuing a solicitation for the Electronic Security System and Gate Upgrade requirement at Fort Norfolk, Norfolk, Virginia. The anticipated acquisition is an open-market, 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 561621, Security Systems Services (except Locksmiths), and PSC N063, Installation of Equipment: Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems.

The anticipated scope includes modernization of Fort Norfolk’s physical and electronic security posture through access control, video surveillance, security monitoring, perimeter gate, and related perimeter/fence-access improvements. The work may include, but is not limited to:

• Engineering, design coordination, planning, system configuration, and implementation support;
• Physical access control/security management system components and integration;
• Access card readers, credential readers, door controllers, and related cabling;

The solicitation is expected to include brand-name requirements for specific Electronic Security System, access-control, credential-verification, and video-management components required to maintain compatibility, interoperability, operational continuity, cybersecurity/supply-chain compliance, and sustainment of the existing Fort Norfolk security environment.

The completed system must be capable of supporting Government security operations, including management of access permissions, monitoring of entry control points, video recording and playback, centralized viewing, guard force credential verification, response to unauthorized access or security events, and continued sustainment of the Fort Norfolk security environment.
