Replace Security Cameras at STA Ocean City, MD

The United States Coast Guard is seeking to replace all existing security cameras at Station Ocean City, Maryland, requiring a contractor to provide comprehensive installation services including new cameras with 190-degree rotation and infrared/night vision capabilities. The procurement involves removing old equipment and installing new security camera systems along with all necessary supporting equipment such as poles, adapters, electrical hardware, and providing technical support, system programming, testing, and certification. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with active status, submit a completed SF-18 form, and provide technical capabilities documentation limited to five pages maximum. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach, where the government will award to the responsible offeror whose conforming offer represents the lowest price that meets technical acceptability standards. However, an important development occurred as Amendment 0001 was issued on September 29, 2025, canceling the original solicitation that had a response deadline of September 26, 2025, with the Coast Guard indicating a new solicitation will be issued at a later date.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 561621 (Security Systems Services), with no incumbent contractor identified as this appears to be a new requirement. The contract structure requires a firm fixed-price proposal broken down by labor hours, labor category, materials, and other direct costs, though specific award values or budget ranges were not disclosed in the solicitation documents. The contractor must commence work within 15 days of contract award and complete the entire security camera installation within 45 working days of starting. Performance will take place at the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Ocean City, Maryland 21842, and the government strongly encourages site visits which must be pre-arranged with MKC Scott Harvey, requiring completion of visitor access request forms for background checks unless visitors possess Military ID or Rapid Gate TWIC credentials. Payment processing must be handled through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) system, and the project falls under simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR parts 13 and 15.
