Active

Contract Opportunity

1. Overview:

This is a Special Notice for a Combined RFI/Synopsis/Solicitation using a two phase, down-select process for the requirement, “Maintenance, Repair, and Maintenance-Driven Lifecycle Installations of Electronic Security Systems.”

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) invites interested vendors to participate in an in-person Industry Day to discuss this upcoming procurement. This Industry Day will offer vendors the opportunity to gain insights into the Government’s objectives and learn about other upcoming contract opportunities.

USCP is also releasing a Request for Information (RFI) for Phase I, as part of a down-select process. Vendors who wish to be considered for Phase II of this procurement must submit a response to the RFI in Phase I. The Government will evaluate RFI responses to determine which vendors will be selected to advance to Phase II, where a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued. Submitting a response in Phase I is mandatory for consideration, but it does not guarantee an invitation to Phase II. Responses to the RFI will help shape the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and future RFP.

4. Down-Select Process and Requirements:

Scope: Provides for the repair, preventative maintenance, and maintenance-driven repair (i.e., replacement necessitated due to frequent repairs) of the Electronic Security System (ESS) assets.

This procurement is utilizing a down-select process. The Phase I RFI will be used to evaluate interested vendors based on their technical capabilities and other factors described in the RFI. Submitting a response to Phase I is mandatory for consideration, but only vendors selected by the Government based on their RFI responses will be invited to participate in Phase II of the process. In Phase II, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued.

The Government will use the RFI responses to:

• Inform and finalize the Performance Work Statement (PWS).


• Refine the Phase II RFP.


• Narrow the competitive field for Phase II by inviting select vendors based on Phase I responses.

Only vendors that submit responses to Phase I and are subsequently selected by the Government will be considered for participation in Phase II.

5. Pre-Industry Day Questions:

Vendors are encouraged to submit questions prior to the Industry Day by emailing Linh.Williams@uscp.gov. These questions will help the Government prepare responses and ensure that key issues are addressed during the event.

**DISCLAIMER**: Participation in the Industry Day and submission of responses to the RFI do not obligate the Government to award a contract or guarantee inclusion in the final RFP process. The Government will make decisions based on information gathered during Phase I. While the Government anticipates advancing 3-5 highly qualified offerors to Phase II, it reserves the right to invite more or fewer offerors based on the evaluation findings from Phase I.
