LCC Key Machine

The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is seeking a vendor to supply and install a comprehensive key control system for the Lovelock Correctional Center, located in Pershing County. The procurement, identified as RFP 44DOC-S3139, requires a turnkey installation of two key management systems: a 192-key system for Central Control and a 96-key system for the Gatehouse. The systems must be fully compatible with the existing Commander v4 or higher key control server and include advanced features such as RFID key fobs, biometric access terminals, SQL database compatibility, and real-time notification capabilities. The evaluation criteria for the contract includes 60 points for system availability by June 2025, 50 points for compatibility with current systems at WSCC and NNCC, and 30 points for cost, with Nevada-based businesses receiving a 5% preference. Proposals are due by February 17, 2025, at 1:00 PM PT, with an anticipated contract start date of March 17, 2025, and a contract term ending June 30, 2025, subject to Board of Examiners approval.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does include provisions for Nevada-based businesses. Contractors must comply with extensive security regulations, including completing the NDOC Contractor Security Regulations Acknowledgement form (DOC 047), passing background checks, and completing a PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) Questionnaire. The system must integrate with existing LDAP infrastructure and require comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2 million in Commercial General Liability, $1 million in Automobile Liability, and $1 million in Technology E&O/Professional Liability. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the detailed technical requirements and multi-system installation suggest a significant investment. Vendors must also be prepared to meet strict security protocols, including tool control policies, facility access procedures, and adherence to the NDOC's zero-tolerance PREA policy.
