DHS Security Equipment 2013-2015

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations awarded a Master IDIQ on April 24, 2013 for security equipment installation and upgrades within the National Capital Region, with ordering closed as of October 31, 2015. This vehicle is no longer active; the ordering period ended ten years and eight months ago.

The IDIQ contracted duress alarm systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, and intrusion detection systems (IDS) for federal facilities across the National Capital Region. Sixteen task orders totaling $430 thousand in combined potential value were issued between May 2013 and August 2015, with all obligated amounts fully drawn. Ordering velocity peaked in 2014 with seven orders; 2013 and 2015 each saw four and five orders respectively.

Competition centered on three primes. Evigilant.com, LLC led by potential value with $234 thousand across six orders, while Security & Energy Technologies Corporation issued the most orders (seven) but captured $149 thousand in combined potential value. Affiliated Services Inc. held the remainder with three orders valued at $47 thousand. The DHS Office of Procurement Operations placed 15 of the 16 orders ($341 thousand potential value); the DHS Chief Procurement Officer placed one order valued at $89 thousand.

Task orders split evenly between unrestricted and small-business awards: eight orders carried no set-aside designation while eight were total small-business. Task values ranged widely, from $873 (wireless duress buttons for the Office of Government Ethics) to $88,626 (security equipment for an RRB child care center), with most orders in the $6,000 to $35,000 range. All awards used firm fixed pricing. Work performed primarily in the Washington, D.C. area and nearby federal installations, including secondary sites in Maryland and Virginia.
