BAY PINES VA REGIONAL OFFICE

Bay Pines Blvd, Bay Pines FL, 33744

Scope Of Work (SOW)

Electronic Security Surveillance System (ES3) Physical components upgrade

08/29/2023

Introduction

In accordance with VA Directive 0730 (12 December 2012) the Bay Pines Veterans Administration Regional Office is responsible for protecting the lives and property within VA s jurisdiction to which includes the safety and security of its employees and visitors as well as the security and access of the facility, equipment, supplies, and personal service records within the Bay Pines Regional Office. Bay Pines Regional Office is therefore requesting an upgrade to its existing Personnel Access Control System (PACS), Security camera monitoring and recording system, Duress and Alarm system.

Background

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) requires federal agencies to issue secure and reliable identification to all employees and contractors. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 201-1 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), establishes the technical specifications for the smart cards that respond to this requirement.

HSPD-12 requires Federal agencies to provide a common identity (ID) credential system for all federal employees and contractors. PIV badges are electronically verifiable and protected by digital certificates, biometric data, and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code. These credentials are issued, tracked, and revoked from a central management system and require applicant background checks.

On February 3, 2011, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released Memorandum 11- 11, Continued Identification of HSPD 12 that requires all federal agency systems be enabled to use PIV credentials in accordance with NIST guidelines. OMB directs agencies to use PIV badges in daily operations and integrate centrally managed PIV badge systems with Physical Access Control Systems (PACS). PACS readers must, at a minimum, extract unique token identifier information from the PIV badge and, by FY 2022, existing federal physical and logical access control systems must be upgraded to use PIV credentials.

In accordance with VA Directive 0730 (12 December 2012) the Bay Pines Veterans Administration Regional Office (VARO) is responsible for protecting the lives and property within VA s jurisdiction which includes the safety and security of its employees and visitors as well as the security and access to the facility, equipment, supplies, and personal service records within the Bay Pines VA Regional Office. Bay Pines VARO therefore has a requirement for a Physical Access Control System.

The PACS will encompass an electronic employee identification system that will assign identity, monitor, and grant or restrict access to all offices and parking throughout the VARO facility by use of a PIV badge that will open approved exterior, interior, elevator, and stairwell doors. Graphical User Interface software system will integrate the currently installed HID Readers, intrusion detection sensors, surveillance security cameras, physical duress buttons, servers, and current and archived data sets.

Objective

The objective of this Statement of Work is to specify the deliverables the contractor is required to accomplish to Upgrade the iStar Panels, intrusion detection sensors, HID Card Readers, badge reader operated automatic doors, physical duress buttons / locations and surveillance cameras at the Bay Pines VARO to bring the Bay Pines VARO into compliance with the guidelines and regulations annotated above.
