The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), VISN 22 Network Contracting Office, is seeking sources that can provide the below requested items for Police CLETS.

The Veterans Affairs Police Service is an armed federal law enforcement and protective service entity that operates in and around the various Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, National Cemeteries, and other VA facilities. VA Police Officers have full police powers derived from statutory authority to enforce all federal laws, VA rules and regulations, and to make arrests on VA controlled property whether owned or leased in concurrent, exclusive, and/or proprietary jurisdictions. VA Police within the VA GLA HCS utilize a large assortment of tools to perform their duties, including GSA-leased vehicles, VA-networked software, radios, security cameras, VA-issued mobile devices, and law enforcement report writing and training software.

The VA GLA HCS requires a connection with Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to query and make entries into law enforcement databases, process arrests, and meet regulatory requirements. It accomplished this through an authorized air-gapped system wherein its connections did not support any device connected to the VA network and devices connected to the external source had no connection to the VA network (This included physical connections; wireless, virtual local area networks (VLANS), etc).

This contract covers securing the internet service and hardware required to restore the dedicated air-gapped connection from the VA GLA HCS Police Headquarters to the Los Angeles Sheriff Department to restore mission critical systems associated with law enforcement databases and processing arrests.

Hardware shall be a one-time cost to purchase with recurring services to maintain, update, and/or repair.
