Naval Special Warfare Command (NSW) and its components provide maritime Special Operations Forces (SOF) trained and equipped to operate worldwide. The NSW Force Programs Office is responsible for the physical security and force protection of personnel assigned to its headquarters command and subordinate activities located at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, VA and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, CA. General physical security for NSW facilities is enabled by Access Control Systems (ACS), Close-circuit televisions (CCTV), and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Collectively, these systems form an integrated electronic security system (IESS) capability designed to detect unauthorized intrusion into secured areas and control access of personnel to buildings and interior spaces. NSW’s current IESS covers two geographic locations and over 60 buildings. While there is general commonality in IESS components, some of the equipment does vary by manufacturer. IESS implementation today consists primarily of standalone ACS, CCTV, and IDS capabilities. The desired end-state is to standardize and connect these systems for better data sharing and maintenance.

The Government is interested in your experience in providing life-cycle support for IESS capabilities in a large organization with multiple locations. Please answer the questions and provide comments as appropriate. Your responses may be used as market research by NSW in future acquisitions.
