RFI - 2021-RFI-MSP-Access Control Systems

The Massachusetts State Police (MSP) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for an Access Control Systems project to implement an enterprise-wide access control solution across all MSP facilities statewide. The goal is to upgrade the existing physical access control infrastructure to provide enhanced security features, including card holder management, alarm monitoring, system reporting, credential management, and integration with video management and intrusion alarm systems. The RFI seeks information from vendors currently listed on the Statewide Contract for Security System ITC-71 that are qualified under Category #2 for installation and integration of Physical Access Control Systems, as well as any other interested vendors. Responses to this RFI are due by June 17, 2021, and the MSP may invite select vendors to provide informational presentations and demonstrations related to their experience, offerings, and expertise. The RFI requests information on a reasonable timeline and cost structure for building out the access control system statewide, as well as the estimated annual maintenance costs.

This RFI does not commit the MSP to any future contract or solicitation, and vendors will not be reimbursed for any costs associated with preparing their responses. The RFI indicates that all responses will become public record under the Commonwealth's Public Records Law. While the RFI does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, it also does not identify any incumbent vendors or provide details on the existing access control and CCTV infrastructure that requires integration. The RFI also does not include any information on the estimated funding source, budget, or award value for a potential future solicitation.
