NC Department of Health & Human Services

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is seeking sealed proposals for the Murdoch Developmental Center Campus Door Access Control project, a single prime contract focused on replacing door hardware across 24 campus buildings. The procurement involves installing electronic access control hardware and establishing a centralized control infrastructure, with proposals due by 1:00 PM on May 6th, 2025, at the Murdoch Center in Butner, NC. A pre-bid meeting was previously scheduled for February 13th, and bidding documents have been available since January 23rd, 2025, through the Duncan-Parnell electronic plan room. Bidders can obtain printed documents for a non-refundable fee of $150 plus tax, or electronic downloads for $113 plus tax. The project requires mandatory registration with the Duncan-Parnell plan room and completion of a minority business participation form. Potential bidders will receive addenda notifications via email through the plan room site, and the project documents will be open for inspection in multiple plan rooms, including the Hispanic Contractors Association of the Carolinas.

The procurement appears to have specific requirements for minority business participation, suggesting potential set-aside or preferential considerations for disadvantaged business enterprises. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the scope of replacing access control hardware in 24 campus buildings indicates a substantial project investment. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to integrate new electronic access control systems with existing campus infrastructure, and must comply with registration and documentation requirements. The project is specifically located in Gaston County, North Carolina, and will be managed through the State Construction Office (SCO Project #24-27699-01A). Interested contractors will need to carefully review the complete bidding documents, ensure compliance with minority business participation guidelines, and prepare comprehensive proposals that address the technical and infrastructural requirements of the electronic door access control system installation.
