CONTRACT:Surveillance Equipment, Installation, Maintenance and Repair Services

The State of New Hampshire's Department of Administrative Services is seeking bids for a comprehensive Surveillance Equipment, Installation, Maintenance and Repair Services contract covering Merrimack, Rockingham, and Strafford Counties. The procurement seeks vendors capable of providing video and CCTV surveillance equipment, including IP cameras, servers, switches, and related technical services. Bidders must offer detailed pricing for labor rates during standard, after-hours, and weekend/holiday work, along with specific equipment model pricing and potential product line discounts. The contract will have an initial three-year term from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2027, with an option to extend for an additional three years. Key submission requirements include a completed Offer Sheet detailing labor rates and equipment pricing, compliance with the IP Camera Configuration Guide's security protocols, and adherence to technical specifications outlined in the bid documents. Bids are due by June 4, 2024, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, with the last day for submitting questions preceding the bid deadline.

The procurement appears to be a non-exclusive contract open to various organizational types, potentially including political subdivisions and nonprofit agencies. While specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not explicitly detailed, the bid documents emphasize comprehensive technical requirements that vendors must meet, including enterprise-level security measures like HTTP digest authentication, domain and host name usage, IP address filtering, and HTTPS encryption. The contract requires vendors to demonstrate capabilities in network infrastructure integration, particularly with Video Management System (VMS) software and network video recorder (NVR) technologies. The bid documents recommend active participation from the entire vendor supply chain and end-user organization in maintaining robust security protocols. Although specific award values are not disclosed, the contract's broad scope across three counties and the detailed technical requirements suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified surveillance and security technology providers.
