Lodging Locks

The Mississippi Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center is seeking to upgrade its existing Onity locking systems through a comprehensive procurement that includes front desk encoding systems, RFID encoders, mortise locks, and associated hardware components. The Department of the Army Mississippi Army National Guard requires specific Onity-branded equipment to ensure compatibility with existing doors and infrastructure, including 440 Trillium RFID mortise locks (220 left-side and 220 right-side configurations), two OnPortal Front Desk Encoding Systems, RFID USB encoders, weather kits, wrap plates, and various installation hardware. The solicitation emphasizes that replacement locks must fit existing door structures without requiring extensive modifications, though alternative lock systems may be considered if they meet this compatibility requirement. The procurement will be awarded on a best value basis, with installation and training services included as part of the overall contract requirements. Vendors must submit their quotes by August 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST, with the government having released an RFI on July 17, 2025, containing additional questions and pictures to assist potential contractors.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The contract calls for a substantial quantity of hardware components totaling 880 individual lock components and associated accessories across eleven contract line items, with the largest quantities being 440 weather kits and 880 units each of screws/coverplates and tabs/strikes. The period of performance is scheduled from September 1, 2025, to October 30, 2025, providing approximately two months for installation and training completion. The work will be performed at the Mississippi Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, with funds currently available for the procurement. The solicitation operates as a combined synopsis/solicitation format, meaning no separate written solicitation will be issued beyond the current announcement.
