Dallas Love Field Security System Support and Maintenance

The City of Dallas Department of Aviation is seeking qualified proposers for a comprehensive security system support and maintenance contract for Dallas Love Field Airport through a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFCSP). The procurement seeks a vendor to provide ongoing support, maintenance, and expansion services for the airport's integrated security systems and infrastructure over a sixty-month base contract period with two optional one-year renewal options. Key deliverables include support for Access Control Systems, Physical Identity and Access Management, access-controlled doors, Closed Circuit Television systems, security intercom systems, and network infrastructure. Proposers must demonstrate direct experience with specific systems including exit lane breach control, Milestone VMS, IntelliSoft, Dormakaba, SQL Server, and The Boring Labs software. Required qualifications include Texas electronic security and low voltage work licenses, 24/7 emergency response capability, personnel eligible for security clearance, and TSA-required checks. Evaluation criteria will allocate forty-five points for experience and capability, twenty points for approach and methodology, thirty points for cost, and five points for local preference. A pre-proposal meeting will be held to allow questions, with electronic submissions required through the City's procurement portal by February 20, 2026.

The solicitation includes provisions for local workforce participation and encourages diverse vendor participation. Vendors must complete a Team Make-Up and Local Workforce Form detailing prime contractors, subcontractors, and employee demographics, with voluntary reporting of workforce composition by race, gender, and local residency. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated, the contract includes a local preference program that can award up to five points to proposers with a principal place of business in Dallas or who employ Dallas residents. The vendor listing document indicates numerous potential qualified suppliers, including Patriot Alarms, Inc., CGI Systems Group, LLC, Sunrise Information Technology Solutions Group, and Syscontek Consulting, LLC. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Business Automobile Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Professional Liability Insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts. Proposers must comply with the City of Dallas wage floor requirement of $23.06 per hour for contracts over $50,000 and be prepared to obtain security badges for personnel with unescorted airport access. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the contract suggests a significant investment in ongoing security system support and maintenance.
