About this file
This is a Special Notice presolicitation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announcing the intent to issue a solicitation for procurement and installation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) compatible with the existing DAQ StarWatch Security Management System (SMS) software and hardware.
The procurement will be conducted as part of an upcoming construction solicitation and will specify DAQ StarWatch Short Message Service (SMS) software as a brand name or equal requirement. USACE justifies this requirement based on the necessity for 100% compatibility and native communication with the existing DAQ StarWatch Command and Control (C2) head-end servers to maintain operational security integrity and comply with UFC 4-021-02 (Electronic Security Systems). The agency determined that utilizing a different system would require adaptive software or additional equipment, resulting in substantial duplication of costs for installation, training, and reprogramming that would not be recovered through competition. Compatible systems must comply with FAR Clause 52.225-11 (Buy American-Construction Materials under Trade Agreements) and RFO Provision 52.225-12 (Notice of Buy American Requirement-Construction Materials Under Trade Agreements). All responsible sources may submit a capability statement by 10:00 AM PT on June 12, 2026, to linda.s.obrien@usace.army.mil. The Government will use submitted capability statements solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with the final decision to compete or not entirely within Government discretion.
