Z2DA--36C25220C0217 P00020: RFP218 Security Sole Source

This Special Notice issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 announces a sole source contract opportunity for security services. The solicitation, numbered 36C25220C0217 P00020 and referenced as RFP218 Security Sole Source, was posted on February 17, 2026, and is managed by the contracting office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with Stacy Hoover serving as the Contracting Officer. The notice seeks qualified contractors to provide a security access control system upgrade valued at $41,500. This is a civilian agency solicitation classified under NAICS code 236220 (Construction of Buildings and Related Structures) and PSC code Z2DA (Repair or Alteration of Hospitals and Infirmaries).

The acquisition involves transitioning from an existing Lenell OnGuard security card access control system to an Avigilon-based security access control system at the Jesse Brown Medical Center, which will integrate cameras, card access readers, and electric door strikes. The government has justified this sole source award based on compatibility determinations that only Avigilon's proprietary software and connections are compatible with existing security infrastructure, as alternative systems would require additional software patches and third-party monitoring that pose unacceptable security risks. Interested contractors must submit their responses by March 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM Central Time, and should contact Contracting Officer Stacy Hoover at Stacy.Hoover2@va.gov for additional information. The acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b) and does not exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of $250,000. Market research has identified three Avigilon-authorized vendors within the Chicago area capable of fulfilling this requirement, and only authorized contractors can service the equipment.
