B-2 Supplies and Service Performance Work Statement Title: EOC Audio/Visual System Solution

B-2.1. BACKGROUND

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Emergency Operations Center (EOC) serves as a mission-critical coordination hub that enables the agency to respond to public health emergencies 24/7/365. The EOC plays a key role in monitoring public health threats, alerting leadership to critical developments, and coordinating response activities across the agency and with external stakeholders.

To maintain operational effectiveness, the EOC relies on a fully functional audiovisual (AV) system that ensures timely communication and real-time situational awareness. The current video switcher system is nearing end-of-life, with multiple failed components and no available spare parts, posing a significant risk of system failure. In the event of failure, the EOC Video Wall and associated displays would become inoperable, disrupting critical information-sharing, emergency briefings, and operational meetings.

To mitigate this risk and ensure continued reliability, the CDC is seeking to replace the existing video switcher system with an upgraded Crestron audio/video switching system. This new system will improve signal distribution, increase system redundancy, and support future scalability. Additionally, the project includes removal of obsolete equipment and cables, optimizing the EOC’s AV infrastructure for efficiency and long-term sustainability.

B-2.2. PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this procurement to ensure uninterrupted audiovisual functionality within the CDC EOC by implementing a high-performance, scalable, and redundant AV switching system. The contractor shall deliver a fully operational Crestron AV switching system that meets CDC’s requirements for real-time communication, operational continuity, and long-term system reliability.

The objectives of this project include:

· Enhancing Operational Resilience: Deploying a Crestron NVX switching system to provide a stable, high-availability AV infrastructure that eliminates signal failures and system downtime.

· Ensuring Seamless Video and Audio Distribution: The system shall support 4K60 4:4:4 resolution with HDCP 2.3 compliance, delivering zero-latency, lossless signal processing.

· Optimizing AV Infrastructure: The contractor shall remove outdated equipment and redundant cabling, ensuring a streamlined, well-organized AV environment.

· Providing a User-Friendly Control Interface: The system shall include an intuitive, touch-based user interface that allows for easy switching of video and audio sources, and maintain the current look and feel of the existing touch panel.

· Minimizing Disruptions to EOC Operations: All installation activities shall be conducted in a manner that avoids unnecessary downtime, ensuring continuous operational capability during the transition.

· Delivering a Future-Ready Solution: The installed system shall be scalable and adaptable, capable of integrating with future AV technologies and upgrades.
