Electronic Key Box System

This service is for the procurement, installation, configuration, and commissioning of a modern electronic smart key box system to support secure, auditable management of physical brass keys used by the Security Services Office (SSO), the Security Operations Center (SOC), and other authorized CDC personnel.

Many CDC facilities utilize brass keys either as the primary means of access (for non‑PACS‑controlled spaces) or as a redundant fallback method when PACS doors are unavailable due to power, controller, network, or hardware failure. Improving the 3
accountability and security of these keys is critical to protecting CDC assets, staff, and facilities. The purpose of this requirement is to strengthen the physical security posture of CDC facilities by deploying an enterprise class smart key management platform that:
• Improves accountability and traceability of key issuance and return.
• Reduces risk associated with loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to controlled keys.
• Provides SOC with real‑time visibility into key access events.
• Supports PIV credentials and MFA methods, including PIN and/or biometrics.
• Integrates seamlessly with CDC networks, SOC consoles, and SSO workflows.
• Ensures operational continuity through backup power and controlled manual override capabilities.
• Supports overall OSSAM/SSO mission readiness in alignment with CDC security policies.

These systems will be installed and integrated at the following locations:
• Roybal Campus, Building 20 (SOC) – 80-key capacity.
• Roybal Campus, Building 17 – 40-key capacity.
• Roybal Campus, Building 18 – 40-key capacity.
• Roybal Campus, Building 23 – 40-key capacity.
• Chamblee Campus, Building 106 – 40-key capacity.
• Lawrenceville Campus – 20-key capacity.This project will modernize the outdated systems and processes CDC’s asset key control.

The SOC manages access to all high value and restricted spaces mostly but also to regular calls for service of lockouts. The current key box is outdate and often fails through long down periods. Specialist are using manual and outdated procedures to issue key defeating the original intent of an electronic key control box. The number and placement of the boxes also reduces the risk of losing a key as well as traversing campuses across the metro Atlanta area.
