NOTICE OF INTENT

FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Per RFO FAR 6.103-1(d), RFO FAR 6.104, and DFARS 206.103-170 (Class Deviation 2016-O0017, Rev. 1), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Norfolk District, intends to procure on a brand-name basis specific Electronic Security System (ESS), Intrusion Detection System (IDS), access-control, credential-verification, and video-management components in support of the Fort Norfolk Electronic Security System and Gate Upgrade project. The requirement will be procured via a separate SAM.gov solicitation.

This requirement consists of products and services that USACE requires to modernize and sustain the Fort Norfolk security environment. The specified products have unique compatibility, interoperability, operational continuity, and sustainment characteristics that meet the Government's minimum requirements for access control, credential verification, video surveillance, security monitoring, and gate/access-control capabilities at Fort Norfolk. The products listed in the table below are required to maintain compatibility with the existing AMAG Symmetry access-control/security management platform, Telaeris handheld badge-verification capability, and Milestone Professional+ video-management/camera system platform.

Due to the unique operational and security requirements, the user requires these specific products to preserve compatibility with the existing Fort Norfolk environment and the broader North Atlantic Division security support structure.

The Contracting Officer intends to prepare a Justification and Approval (J&A) document which includes brand name (BN) items for the solicitation package. Items identified as BN under RFO FAR 6.103-1(d), RFO FAR 6.104, and DFARS 206.103-170 (Class Deviation 2016-O0017, Rev. 1) are included to sufficiently define the scope of work to be performed and adequately establish the required level of compatibility, interoperability, and operational continuity.
