The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Albany Stratton VA Medical Center (VAMC), is conducting a sources sought inquiry to identify qualified vendors capable of delivering a combined solution for physical access control system (PACS) enhancements and a critical software upgrade. This procurement, managed by the 242-Network Contract Office 02, seeks to modernize and expand the facility’s access control infrastructure to bolster security, compliance, and operational efficiency.
The scope of this requirement encompasses two primary components. First, the selected contractor will provide and implement an upgrade of the existing Lenel OnGuard ADV SUSP software license to the PRO tier. This upgrade is essential for increasing the system’s capacity, specifically enabling the activation of 64 additional reader licenses and expanding the total supported readers from 256 to 320. The contractor must be an authorized Lenel vendor, possess the necessary licensing key, and be able to provide a Letter of Authorization (LOA). Deliverables for this component include the activated PRO license, documentation verifying the enhanced reader capacity, and confirmation of successful implementation. There is also an optional provision for future expansion, allowing for the addition of further reader license blocks as needed.
The second component involves the installation of PIV-enabled access control hardware on four designated doors within the Albany VAMC. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, wiring, programming, testing, and documentation required to deliver a fully integrated and operational PACS solution. Key deliverables include the installation of four HID PIV-class dual-frequency readers (SIGNO 40K), door position sensors, electrified locksets, electric strikes, panic exit devices, ADA-compliant wave-to-open push buttons, and associated power and control hardware. All equipment must be new, UL-listed where applicable, and fully compatible with the existing Lenel OnGuard PACS environment. The government will provide the existing PACS infrastructure, network connectivity, cable pathways, facility power, and access to work areas.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and Product Service Code 6350, with the place of performance specified as Albany, New York. The procurement is currently in the sources sought phase; the VA is not soliciting quotes at this time but is seeking statements of capability from vendors who can fulfill both the software and hardware requirements as a single, integrated solution. Special consideration is given to vendors who are authorized Lenel partners and can demonstrate compliance with all licensing and compatibility requirements.
Interested parties should note that this is a federal procurement managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, with Barry Sawyer serving as the primary point of contact ([email protected], 585-393-8563). The notice remains active, with responses due by February 18, 2026. Contractors with relevant experience and authorization are encouraged to review the full notice and respond accordingly to express their capability to meet the VA’s needs for this critical security infrastructure upgrade.
