SOURCES SOUGHT Install additional Cameras at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery

The Department of Veterans Affairs is conducting a sources-sought market research on camera and access-control installation at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Illinois, with responses due July 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. EST. This is not a formal solicitation—it is a sources-sought announcement (36C78626Q50231) to identify qualified vendors before RFP issuance.

The scope covers installation of two additional cameras integrated with the existing Milestone XProtect Smart Client and LenelS2 access-control systems: one camera to capture front license plates at the non-gated entrance and one to capture rear license plates. The contractor must be an authorized dealer capable of selling licenses and warranties for both systems. A minimum three-year warranty is required on cameras and access-control equipment. All work must be completed within thirty calendar days of the Notice to Proceed. Performance occurs at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery with contractor vehicle routes restricted to Hoff and Diagonal roads; the cemetery remains operational during installation.

The Department encourages responses from small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Respondents should submit detailed capability statements, identify any federal contract vehicles held, and provide sample pricing if available. Responses are due in writing to April.Graves@va.gov with the sources-sought number in the subject line.

No contract value, contract term, formal solicitation timeline, or incumbent information is disclosed in this market-research announcement.
