Notice of Intent– Brand Name Requirement for ELK Intrusion Detection Systems

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is providing notice of its intent to include brand name requirements for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) in future solicitations for construction projects at Ft. McCoy and all Army Reserve facilities. The brand name components include various ELK products, such as the ELK M1 GOLD security panel and the ELK M1KP keypad. The government will not purchase the equipment directly, but rather brand name specifications will be included in solicitations that will lead to new construction contracts. Responses to this notice will be used to determine the availability of this type of service, and all responsible sources may respond. Some key points to consider include: • The brand name components are specific ELK products • The government will not purchase the equipment directly • The brand name specifications will be included in future solicitations • Responses should include affirmation of active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and other relevant information • Responses are due by 12:00 PM Eastern Time Friday, 8 May 2026
