Alarm Monitoring Sources Sought

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Hood is conducting a sources sought notice for alarm monitoring services at Fort Hood, Texas. This pre-solicitation aims to identify qualified 8(a) small business firms capable of providing security systems services, specifically alarm monitoring capabilities, to support the installation's security requirements. The government is seeking to determine if sufficient competition exists among 8(a) certified companies to proceed with a competitive acquisition rather than a sole-source award. Interested firms must demonstrate their capabilities in meeting the stated requirements at fair market pricing through their responses to this sources sought notice. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is October 8, 2025, giving potential contractors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their capability statements.

This opportunity is designated as a competitive 8(a) set-aside, meaning only SBA-certified 8(a) Program participants are eligible to compete for the eventual contract award. The government has not identified any incumbent contractors or provided specific budget ranges in the notice, as this is purely a market research effort to gauge industry capability and interest. The services fall under NAICS code 561621 for Security Systems Services and PSC code S211 for Housekeeping-Surveillance, indicating the work involves ongoing monitoring and surveillance support rather than installation or maintenance of alarm systems. No contract value estimates, performance periods, or service quantities have been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage, as the government is still determining the appropriate acquisition strategy based on market response. The notice emphasizes that this is solely for information gathering purposes and does not constitute a request for proposals or guarantee that a solicitation will be issued.
