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 pre-proposal conference to discuss this upcoming procurement.

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-Proposal Conference Day Questions:

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

6. Contact Information:

For questions or additional information, or to request a copy of the RFI CD, please contact: Linh.Williams@uscp.gov

**DISCLAIMER**: Participation in the pre-proposal conference 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.
