Security, Surveillance, Fire System

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of General Services (DGS) is soliciting Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) contract proposals for statewide Security, Surveillance, and Fire System Maintenance services. This comprehensive contract covers six primary commodity codes: Acceptance Testing/System Commissioning, Monitoring, Preventative Maintenance, Repair, Testing, and Training. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of two years of experience in each commodity code and provide documentation including an Experience Form, Manufacturer Identification Sheet, manufacturer authorization letters, Iran Free Procurement certification, and worker protection documentation. The contract will be effective from the Contract Effective Date through May 31, 2031, with Commonwealth agencies issuing Requests for Quotes (RFQs) through the JAGGAER Custom Portal system. Evaluation methodologies will include either a Best Value scoring approach, which assesses overall proposal quality against agency needs including cost, or a Low Cost method selecting the lowest responsive and responsible proposal. The submission deadline is February 28, 2031, and all qualifications must be submitted electronically through JAGGAER, with technical support available at (800) 233-1121.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, though it allows participation by local public procurement units through COSTARS provisions. Contractors must register as a PA Supplier and obtain a vendor number through the PA Supplier Portal, and create a user profile in the JAGGAER portal to complete qualification requirements. The contract covers nine service categories including Fire Detection Systems, Fire Suppression Systems, Security Detection Systems, CCTV Systems, Access Control Systems, Security Communication Systems, Material/Substance Detection Systems, Emergency Communication Systems, and Special Surveillance Equipment/Systems. Notably, the contract excludes certain services such as staff augmentation, system installation, and repair services requiring construction, design, cabling, or structural alterations. While no specific pricing terms or funding amounts are detailed, contractors meeting minimum qualifications will be awarded a contract, though this does not guarantee business. Local Public Procurement Units may utilize this contract, and contractors are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and adhere to enhanced minimum wage provisions.
