About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The United States Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC) at Marine Corps Base Camp Butler is conducting market research for an electronic access control system upgrade requiring approximately 3,161 ASSA ABLOY Classic RFID electronic card lock systems with compatible Visionline Access Management Software for unaccompanied housing facilities in Okinawa, Japan. The procurement seeks to replace legacy Maglock units that are no longer manufacturer-supported and standardize on a single lock system across multiple barracks at five camps/stations. Vendors must demonstrate their products can meet stringent technical requirements including FIPS 140-2/3 encryption, DoD security standards, contactless RFID and Bluetooth Low Energy access, 12-month battery life, support for 500 unique user profiles per lock, and operation in extreme temperatures from -20F to 130F. This sources sought notice is for market research only to determine if alternative vendors can provide equivalent performance to the specified ASSA ABLOY brand-name system. Questions are due by July 9, 2025 at 8:00 JST, with capability packages and responses due by July 15, 2025, and interested vendors must submit product descriptions, technical datasheets, and published price lists to the designated government email addresses.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and the Marine Corps has identified ASSA ABLOY as the preferred vendor due to existing infrastructure compatibility, with over 80% of current lock systems already using their products. Previous attempts to integrate alternative systems from Voss & Simmons resulted in compatibility issues, parts costs that were 240% more expensive, extended lead times, and inadequate technical support. The total procurement involves approximately 3,600 RFID locksets along with compatible controller modules, electronic strike plates, and installation services across the multiple barracks facilities. The anticipated contract will be a firm fixed price agreement with delivery required within 180 calendar days of order receipt. The Marine Corps plans to award this as a sole-source procurement under simplified acquisition procedures pursuant to FAR 13.501(a), with the vendor responsible for shipping, customs clearance, and on-site training at the Okinawa location.
