Sources Sought and Request for Information - Locksmith Services

The Department of State's Bureau of Administration, through the Office of Acquisition Management, is conducting a Sources Sought and Request for Information (RFI) for comprehensive locksmith services across multiple locations in the National Capital Region and throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The procurement seeks a contractor capable of providing installation, maintenance, and repair services for locks and associated hardware, including work on doors, vaults, safes, locking file cabinets, security containers, and secure spaces. Potential contractors must demonstrate the ability to service 48 locations within the NCR and 37 locations nationally, with an anticipated annual workload of approximately 760 work orders. Responses are due by 3:00 PM EST on December 20, 2024, and must be limited to 7 pages or 10MB, addressing detailed capability questions related to security clearances, GSA approvals, and service capacity. Evaluation criteria will focus on the contractor's ability to meet specific technical requirements, including expertise with specialized lock systems such as Kaba, Medeco, Mortise, Mosler, and Unican.

The solicitation falls under NAICS code 561622 (Locksmiths) and does not include any specific set-aside designations, indicating open competition for qualified vendors. The anticipated contract structure includes a 12-month base period with four potential one-year option periods, suggesting a total potential contract duration of five years. While specific budget or award values were not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the scope suggests a substantial service requirement with approximately 580 work orders within the NCR and 180 outside the region annually. Service response times will vary based on location and urgency, ranging from 2 hours to 4 business days, which will likely be a critical evaluation factor. The contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to fulfill the comprehensive locksmith service requirements across multiple Department of State facilities.
