CDPS Security System and 5- Year Maintenance Agreement

The Colorado Department of Public Safety (CDPS) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive security system and five-year maintenance agreement through a competitive procurement process. The contract encompasses Denver County and Denver City jurisdictions within Colorado. The primary deliverable is a multicard security system that includes card readers, access control systems, and related hardware components designed to integrate into the CDPS security infrastructure. Bidders must propose solutions that meet or exceed detailed technical specifications covering card formats, reader functionality, data transmission protocols, and integration capabilities with existing security systems. Key technical requirements address card encoding standards, reader response times, communication interfaces, and durability specifications to ensure reliable operation within the CDPS environment. The proposal deadline is February 22, 2018, with the posting date of February 16, 2018, allowing potential bidders a six-day window to prepare and submit responsive proposals. Evaluation criteria will include compliance with all specified technical parameters and the overall quality of the proposed security system and maintenance agreement.

The procurement documents do not explicitly identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information based on the available materials. The technical specifications outlined in the Multicard.pdf document establish the baseline requirements for system compatibility and performance integration with existing CDPS security infrastructure. Interested contractors must demonstrate technical expertise in multicard access control systems and the capability to provide five years of ongoing maintenance support. While a specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the summarized procurement information, the comprehensive nature of the security system installation coupled with the mandatory five-year maintenance agreement suggests a substantial contract opportunity. Organizations responding to this solicitation should ensure they possess the technical qualifications to design, install, and maintain enterprise-level security access control systems meeting all specified standards.
