N063--36C256-24-AP-4879: CAVHS CBOC Security Cameras

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration is seeking a turn-key security camera system installation for eight Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) across Arkansas. The solicitation (36C25625Q0624) requires comprehensive surveillance system deployment, including multiple camera types such as 4K IR outdoor vandal dome cameras, 12MP fisheye cameras, and License Plate Recognition cameras, along with associated hardware and software. Contractors must meet specific technical requirements, including compliance with VA Physical Security Design Manual standards, NDAA section 889, and Trade Agreement Act provisions. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical capabilities, certification requirements, and ability to complete the project within the 180-day performance period. The original offer due date was March 24, 2025, but Amendment 5 extended the deadline to May 19, 2025, at 3 PM CDT, with a requirement for vendors to submit VAAR 852.219-75 certification.

The solicitation is a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside with a maximum potential value of $25 million. The project involves installing approximately 136 cameras across eight CBOC locations in Arkansas, including sites in Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, El Dorado, Mena, Searcy, Russellville, Mountain Home, and Conway. Contractors must have at least one technician on-site during installation who is Velocity and Velocity Vision certified, and the project will potentially be implemented in phases based on funding availability. The contract includes a 48-month software service agreement and requires a five-year system support commitment. The place of performance is Little Rock, AR, with work to be completed across multiple VA healthcare facilities in Arkansas. Subcontracting is limited, with contractors prohibited from paying more than 50% of the contract amount to non-Veterans-owned businesses.
