SOURCES SOUGHT: THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR QUOTATION. THIS IS FOR INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY! This notice does not constitute a commitment by the Government. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary and the Government will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the Government.

Joint Base Andrews (JBA), MD intends to pursue a 100% Small Business Set-Aside award for anticipated contract renewal. All social economic categories are encouraged to respond under this RFI posting. The contracting officer will document market‑research findings and determination procurement strategy. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed is 561621 (Security Systems Services—except locksmith). The size standard is $25.0 million dollars.

This requirement is to provide: Maintenance and sustainment for Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) and Flight Line Entry Control System (FLECS) at JB Andrews. JBA is the first and only base with an automated gate system which controls access to the airfield. The FLECS supports all Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) 1- 3 assets as a first line of defense and security requirements from JBAI 31-101 and all proceeding regulations. This requires both physical and mechanical on-site maintenance to service each entry control point (ECP). With the heavy use of ECPs utilized by contractors and other entities, the gates do experience point of failure whether it be human or mechanical.

(Please see attached the Performance Work Statement for more information.)
