The U.S. Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Sam Houston is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified vendors for electronic security system upgrades at three Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) facilities: Spokane, Boise, and Baltimore. The procurement seeks complete turnkey installations including Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) utilizing Hirsch Identiv technology, Video Surveillance Systems (VSS), Video Intercom Systems (VIS) using Aiphone IX Series equipment, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) with Bosch B9512G components. Prospective contractors must be certified Value-Added Resellers (VAR) for Bosch Security Systems, Identiv Hirsch PACS, and the video management system manufacturer, and all equipment must comply with National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements. This notice is issued solely for market research and planning purposes and does not constitute a binding solicitation; responses are due by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 6, 2026, submitted via email to Contracting Specialist Adam Buchert and Contracting Officer John Haarala. Respondents should provide firm information, relevant experience, pricing and commercial availability data, contracting preferences, and recommendations for specification improvements or contract structuring.

This procurement is being considered for small business set-aside status, contingent upon two or more qualified small businesses responding with sufficient capability information to support such a designation. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the notice. The contract values are not specified in this sources sought stage; however, based on the scope of work outlined in the draft Statements of Work, the three-facility upgrade represents a substantial undertaking with individual location periods of performance ranging from 90 to 120 calendar days. The Spokane facility requires installation across 23 camera locations with comprehensive VSS, PACS for five controlled doors and two vehicular gates, IDS with 80 inputs and 16 outputs, and VIS infrastructure, while the Boise facility includes 30 cameras, PACS for 12 controlled doors, and similar systems across a 90-day timeline. The Baltimore facility represents the smallest scope with a 90-day period of performance, featuring five controlled doors and a more limited camera and infrastructure footprint. All installations must be completed by qualified personnel with background clearances, and contractors are responsible for legacy equipment removal, comprehensive testing, personnel training for up to eight individuals, and provision of one-year warranties on all components and installations.
