The Bureau of Land Management's Cottonwood Field Office in Idaho is seeking a contractor to install a comprehensive duress security system at their facility located in Cottonwood, Idaho. The system must include three discrete activation buttons (wearable or fixed) capable of transmitting duress signals through radio frequency, cellular network, or building network infrastructure, with alerts routed to a central monitoring station or security personnel for emergency response coordination. The installation covers approximately four locations requiring strobe and audible alert capabilities, including a detached warehouse positioned 200 feet from the main building, with head-end equipment to be housed in a secure server room. The government will evaluate submissions using comparative analysis based on price and past performance to determine the best value award. Quotes are due September 10, 2025 by 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for September 3, 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Cottonwood Field Office.

This solicitation is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) with a size standard of $25 million. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the available documentation, suggesting this may be a new installation or replacement of an existing system. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement falls under the firm fixed-price contract structure, and all proposed products must appear on the approved federal government purchase list. The work will be performed at the Bureau of Land Management Cottonwood Field Office in Cottonwood, Idaho, with contractors required to maintain registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit quotes electronically. The installation timeline and specific performance period details are not specified in the current solicitation materials, though contractors are encouraged to participate in the site visit to better understand project requirements and existing infrastructure constraints, including uncertain conduit capacity between buildings.
