About this opportunity
NOAA is issuing a Request for Information for an Enterprise Physical Access Control System (ePACS) and Enterprise Video Surveillance System (eVSS) integrator and support services requirement, with responses due November 6, 2026. The Set Aside line reads No Set-Aside Used. The RFI is for planning purposes only, does not constitute a solicitation, pre-solicitation synopsis, or request for proposal or quote, and responses will not be used as proposals. Respondents bear all response costs. Separate solicitation REQUIREMENTS-26-3295 covers nationwide preventive maintenance, repair, and installation and is distinct from this RFI.
NOAA's Service Delivery Division, through the Critical Infrastructure Management Services program within the Office of the Chief Information Officer, is the requiring organization. The draft Performance Work Statement covers system administration, engineering, architecture, software licensing, hardware procurement, and installation for the ePACS and eVSS. Core platforms are Software House CCURE 9000 and Milestone VMS. Required credentials include Software House Vendor of Record status and CSEIP and CCURE 9000 System Architect certifications. Hardware must be 100% GSA APL and TAA compliant, and the PWS mandates 99.9% system availability.
A Senior ESS Administrator must be on site daily at NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland, during 0700-1700 local time. Travel support extends across CONUS facilities, and emergency support runs 24/7/365. The PWS requires HIGH suitability, U.S. citizenship, and Tier 4 clearance for Key Personnel under CLIN 0001.
The anticipated contract is for Fiscal Year 2027 and uses seven CLINs combining Firm Fixed Price and Time & Materials. The base year runs April 1, 2027 through March 30, 2028, followed by four option years through March 30, 2032. The source does not state an award value or name an incumbent.

NOAA recently released REQUIREMENTS-26-3295 which is separate and distinct from this RFI. This RFI is for the Integrator and related support services for the Enterprise system. REQUIREMENTS-26-3295 is for nationwide preventative Maintenance, Repair, Installation, and related work.
Purpose
This Performance Work Statement outlines the requirements for system administration, engineering, architecture, software licensing, hardware procurement, and installation services required by the NOAA/OCIO/Service Delivery Division’s (SDD) Critical Infrastructure Management Services (CIMS) program for NOAA’s Enterprise Physical Access Control System (ePACS) and Enterprise Video Surveillance System (eVSS).
Background
The NOAA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), through its Service Delivery Division (SDD) and Critical Infrastructure Management Services (CIMS) program, is responsible for the secure operation and maintenance of NOAA’s Enterprise Physical Access Control System (ePACS) and Enterprise Video Surveillance System (eVSS). These systems are deployed across multiple NOAA facilities nationwide and support mission-critical physical security functions.
To maintain operational integrity, ensure 24/7/365 system availability, and meet strict federal physical security and IT compliance mandates (such as HSPD-12, FIPS 201-3, and FICAM), NOAA requires dedicated vendor support for enterprise-level system architecture, daily administration, software/license management, hardware acquisition, and system expansion services.
Objectives
The objectives of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) are to:
- Ensure continuous (24/7/365) operational readiness, maximum uptime, and peak reliability across all NOAA ePACS and eVSS infrastructure.
- Provide robust system administration, database engineering (SQL/Oracle/Active Directory), and cross-system integration (PACS, VSS, IDS, Visitor Management).
- Maintain strict alignment with GSA Approved Products List (APL) standards, Trade Agreements Act (TAA) guidelines, HSPD-12, FIPS 201-3, and NOAA/DOC cybersecurity baselines.
- Provide turn-key engineering design submittals, professional installation, and cabling compliant with TIA and NEC standards during facility modifications, retrofits, and site expansions.
Please see the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) for more information.
