Key Management System

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center is soliciting quotes for the procurement and installation of up to eight automated key management system boxes at the Stewart Lee Udall Building in Washington, DC. The project involves supplying key management systems with varying capacities (16 to 96 key slots) that must feature electronic locking mechanisms, biometric or PIV card access, touchscreen interfaces, and integrated software for tracking key usage and generating audit reports. The key boxes will be distributed between two offices: three for the Office of Law Enforcement and Security (OLES) and four for the Office of Facilities and Administrative Services (OFAS), with the system required to integrate with the existing Software House C*Cure 9000 Physical Access Control System. The procurement will utilize a lowest price technically acceptable evaluation approach, where the lowest-priced quote will be reviewed first for technical compliance. Quotes are due by September 5, 2025 at 5:00 PM ET, with the period of performance scheduled from September 22, 2025 to September 21, 2026.

This opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services) with a size standard of $25 million. The contract structure includes a three-month base performance period with potential optional extensions up to twelve months, and the government anticipates awarding a firm fixed price purchase order. The solicitation includes multiple contract line items (CLINs) for base and optional key management boxes, with the vendor required to provide comprehensive training, continuous phone support, and a one-year warranty. Installation must comply with strict delivery restrictions, including maximum truck dimensions of 13 feet height and 22 feet length, and all work will be performed at 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC.
