Written by GovTribe AI ·

This file is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation W9124M26QA024, the 3rd Infantry Division G2 Electronic Security System (ESS) Upgrade at Fort Stewart, Georgia. The Q&A addresses 29 questions submitted by potential quoters regarding facility specifications, existing infrastructure, equipment requirements, and contract terms. Key facility details include a SCIF constructed in 2007 with approximately 22,255 total square feet across four locations (HQ: 13,800 sq ft; 1B: 3,020 sq ft; 2B: 2,835 sq ft; REACH: 2,600 sq ft), featuring dropped ceilings, raised floors, aluminum concrete perimeter walls, and adequate backup power. The Government clarified that existing cable and wiring cannot be assumed for reuse and that contractors must provide all materials, labor, and cabling necessary to complete requirements per the Performance Work Statement and Bill of Materials attachment.

The Government established critical contracting parameters: this is a firm-fixed-price purchase order with no progress payments, advance payments, or part-arrival invoicing permitted; payment follows Government acceptance of deliverables. The solicitation imposes a 120-calendar-day period of performance post-award and requires integration with the Government's existing DAQ-based electronic security architecture, with no proprietary system-configuration information provided. Equipment substitutions require written Government approval via formal solicitation amendment. The Government withheld independent estimates and budget ranges, directing quoters to submit competitive pricing. Quoters have after-hours facility access if pre-coordinated and must monitor SAM.gov for amendments and additional clarifications. Quote deadline was 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 18, 2026, with award to the lowest evaluated total price quoter deemed technically acceptable.
