Closed‑Circuit Monitoring and Building Entry Modernization Project

The USDA Agricultural Research Service is seeking quotations from small‑business vendors to replace its existing closed‑circuit television (CCTV) and building entry system with a modern, IP/Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) solution (e.g., Avigilon or USDA‑approved equivalent). The new system must integrate video surveillance and access control, improve physical‑security posture, provide remote door‑open capability, and meet all federal, USDA, and ARS security standards. This is a total small‑business set‑aside under NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services). • Scope: supply, install, configure, and test a fully integrated video‑surveillance and access‑control system. • Required technology: IP‑based cameras, PoE switches, access‑control readers, software platform, and related networking infrastructure. • Compliance: Federal acquisition regulations (FAR Part 12), USDA physical‑security standards, and any agency‑specific cybersecurity requirements. • Delivery: complete system installation at the designated USDA facility, with training for staff and documentation. • Contract type: firm‑price quotation (RFQ). • Eligibility: small businesses with ≤ $25 million in annual receipts.
