This sole-source increase in capacity ensures continuation of ESS while the Huntsville Center prepares a solicitation for competition and awards of a multi-year contract projected for award in Fiscal Year 2028.

The ESS work consists of site surveys, preparation of technical data packages, procurement, and installation, testing of hardware and software, and preparation/validation of cost data. ESS work will also include security and/or force protection measures such as barriers, fencing, gates, window treatments, hardening, and lighting. Certain projects will require service, maintenance, repairs, and/or upgrade of existing systems. Certain projects may also require vulnerability assessment and studies (including cost) for preparation of an ESS justification. Work is provided through reimbursable funding from multiple Department of Defense (DOD) or other federal agencies. Work will be accomplished through performance-based work statements stating the measurable performance standards and the terms of the required results. This acquisition may require the handling and generation of classified information. This support may call for extensive domestic and foreign travel. The contractors and sub-contractor personnel shall be able to obtain necessary security clearances and visas/passports.

System specifications, installation and testing requirements are subject to updates, revisions, and changes in order to meet the requirements of the DOD, Department of the Army and other agencies for whom the systems are being procured, installed, repaired or upgraded. National Institute of Science and Technology and Defense Information Systems Agency issued standards, guides, requirements, or recommendations, where appropriate and applicable, will be included as requirements for these systems. All existing criteria documents will be revised by the Government and incorporated as part of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW). Each PWS or SOW shall also contain a list of Unified Guide Specifications, Unified Facility Criteria and appropriate applicable regulations issued by Department of Defense, Department of the Army and/or other United States Government agencies for which ESS is being procured.
