Quality Control- Alarm, Signal, And Security Detection Systems

PSC Category H163 encompasses quality control services for alarm, signal, and security detection systems. These services include installation, maintenance, monitoring, and repair of various electronic security infrastructure such as intrusion detection systems (IDS), access control systems, fire alarm systems, surveillance cameras, and emergency notification platforms. The technologies support physical security requirements across federal government facilities, including military installations, veterans' healthcare centers, national parks, and other government buildings.

Federal Contract Awards in this category demonstrate a robust market with contracts ranging from $7,430 to $969,447, typically lasting between one to five years. Frequently awarded entities include Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) like Minuteman Security Solutions, Alamo Integrated Systems, and Hogan Security Group. Common funding agencies include the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense (Army, Air Force, Navy), Department of the Interior, and Department of Homeland Security. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders, with approximately 30% designated as small business set-asides. Performance locations span multiple states, with significant concentrations in California, Texas, Alabama, Virginia, and Kentucky.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities focus on central monitoring services for intrusion detection systems, particularly for military installations. The Kentucky Army National Guard has two prominent solicitations seeking small business contractors to provide 24/7 monitoring services for security alarm panels across 82-85 facilities. These opportunities emphasize compliance with specific standards like UL 827 and UL 2050, require continuous staffing, and typically include a base year with multiple optional extension periods. Other opportunities include specialized requirements such as software license support, PIV card reader installations, and fire protection system services, reflecting the diverse security technology needs across federal agencies.
