SOL 12444326Q0081 ARS Security Door Access Reader Upgrade Questions and Answers as of 28SEP2026

1. SOW, C04b Reader Information Sheet - CLIN 0001 and the SOW state a quantity of (62) readers.

The Reader Information Sheet lists 88 locations across multiple status categories, only 54 of which are marked 'z-Confirmed.' Please identify the specific 62 locations that comprise the priced scope of CLIN 0001, or confirm the correct total quantity.

a. Providing an updated Reader Information Sheet - C04b Reader Information Sheet_12444326Q0081 - Revised

2. SF1449 Qualification Requirements - The solicitation requires the vendor be a certified Lenel

Value Added Reseller, while the specified hardware is HID Signo readers. Please confirm whether the existing access control panel platform is Lenel OnGuard, and whether VAR certification is required for panel-side compatibility rather than the reader hardware itself.

a. Yes, the current system is Lenel OnGuard and a Lenel VAR is required for the project.

3. C04b Reader Information Sheet - Row 65 of the Reader Information Sheet notes a pending room move from 3020 to 3014 and asks whether a reader is needed at Room 3018. Please confirm

4. C04b Reader Information Sheet - 10 locations are flagged 'New SOW Request but Already Exists' for IT closet readers on four floors of the North Wing. Please confirm whether these locations are included in the 62-unit CLIN 0001 scope or excluded.

5. Software Access: Will the Government provide the necessary administrator/installer username and password for the existing access control software to allow the contractor to configure and functionally test the new readers?

a. Yes, the government will provide the necessary access to configure and test the system.

6. Card Reader Configuration: The SOW specifies (62) HID 40KHTKS-03-0004XR Signo PIV 40K readers with keypads. However, the Reader Information Sheet appears to indicate that keypad functionality may only be required at certain locations. Could you please confirm whether the Government requires the 40KHTKS keypad model at all 62 locations, or a combination of keypad and non-keypad readers? If a combination is required, we respectfully request confirmation of the quantity required for each model.

a. Awaiting response.
