IMT grand coulee TC SEC equip

The Bureau of Reclamation is procuring security equipment for their training center in Grand Coulee, Washington, through a Request for Quotes requiring specific brand-name products from Axis, Commscope, Magnasphere, and Ditek manufacturers. The procurement includes 4 AXIS Q6225-LE PTZ cameras with corresponding pole and wall mounts, 4 Ditek RJ45 PoE surge suppressors, 2000 feet of Commscope fiber cable, and 8 Magnasphere multi-switch contacts, all of which must be new and unused with full manufacturer warranty. The solicitation emphasizes mandatory standardization requirements across Bureau of Reclamation facilities and compatibility with existing Milestone video recording systems used at multiple dam facilities including Hoover, Shasta, New Melones, and Folsom. Interested vendors must submit written, signed quotes on company letterhead with complete contact information via email to mswift@usbr.gov. The deadline for quote submission is September 10, 2025 at 8:00 am ET, with no indication of a separate question period.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334290 with a size standard of 800 employees, limiting competition to qualified small businesses. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price arrangement with shipping costs included, though no specific budget range or estimated award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The Bureau of Reclamation has justified this brand-name approach through a Justification and Approval document citing substantial replacement costs ranging from $2.5 million to $75 million if alternative manufacturers were used instead of the standardized equipment. Delivery of all equipment is required within 90 days after contract award to the Bureau of Reclamation's warehouse facility in Grand Coulee, Washington. The procurement allows for "brand name or equal" alternatives only for the Ditek surge suppressors, while substitutes will not be accepted for Axis, Commscope, and Magnasphere products.
