2. GSG’s Capability

Global Solutions Group, Inc. (GSG) is a multi-faceted technology and professional services company established in year 2003 in the State of Michigan and headquartered in Oak Park, Michigan. GSG is an SBA Certified 8(a) and Small Woman-owned Business, and we are a

Certified Minority Business Enterprise and Economically Disadvantaged Woman - Owned Small Business (EDWOSB).

GSG was founded in 2003 to provide IT support services to government agencies and private sector clients. As our IT consulting business grew, we recognized that several of our clients were not satisfied with their existing information security services, so we started placing IT security professionals with those clients. That experience has allowed us to expand our IT services to include cybersecurity consulting. To provide additional support for securing IT systems, GSG started providing physical security support as well—from secure entry to surveillance equipment. We have since added CCTV camera installation, maintenance, and video surveillance as key facets of our business.

GSG has a long history of superior performance on multiple contracts with the federal government, as well as state and local governments and private sector companies. This experience allows us to ensure high-level IT support and consultation, yet we are small enough to be nimble in our approach to providing client services. We have the flexibility to redirect resources to remediate/mitigate issues under tight deadlines.

GSG is actively working with 25+ federal Government agencies including DoD and Civilian agencies as well as 100+ state/local Government agencies as a Prime Contractor successfully managing 125+ active projects. The GSG team has successfully completed 1000+ Cybersecurity projects, 100+ projects with digital solutions including custom application development, low-code/no-code (COTS) development experience, and 50+ Salesforce no/low-code applications which includes configuring a range of out-of-the-box solutions, such as case management, employee onboarding, and service ticketing. GSG has extensive experience with industry standards and best practices including: NIST CSF, FISMA, FedRAMP, PCI DSS; OWASP; CIS-CSC.

2 DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, ELGIN AIR FORCE BASE

GSG supplied and installed several Pelco explosion proof pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras for the multiple bays.

Eglin AFB has a machining facility where explosives related components are manufactured on specialized CNC machines. Operators are not allowed to be physically present near the machines to monitor the machining processes. Special high definition cameras are deployed for this purpose. The machine room environment has a potential explosion hazard. The cameras need to be explosion proof for this purpose. These cameras continuously transmit the machining operation images to a monitor in the central control room, from where the operators keep a watch on the same.

Each of the cameras installed by GSG was explosion proof in construction, connected by explosion proof conduits for the cables. Each camera weighed over 40 lbs and was located on heavy duty wall mounts.

The cameras were connected to the control room with a combination of CAT6 and optic fiber cabling looping around the building from the outside.

GGS also provided extensive support in coordinating with the manufacturer (Pelco) when the client found some issues with the performance of the cameras. GSG conducted countless phone call conversations and video conference calls with the manufacturer and the client to carry out troubleshooting sessions until the issue was identified as a manufacturing defect and was satisfactorily resolved.

3 DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE

GSG removed the several currently installed cameras and installed new cameras that provide total coverage of the inside of the warehouse and cargo yards. The cameras are connected to the hub via CAT 5e Ethernet LAN cable. New cameras were meeting the following requirements:

• Night vision capability

• Weatherproof enclosure

• Minimum of 5MP (megapixel) camera (no fish eye style).

We provided a viewing station in the Armory that allows for real time viewing of the three Armory cameras.

We also removed and replaced the monitoring station/hub, and provided/installed a new system in the FACMAN cage with the following capabilities:

• Allow for a minimum of 10 days of video storage in a minimum.

• Viewing capability (real time and stored footage) at the monitoring station/hub. Real time viewing must have ability to view all cameras at once or select a single camera.

• The monitoring station/hub shall be password protected, with the ability to have users change the password as needed.
