The Department of Veterans Affairs, through its Network Contracting Office 02 (NCO2), is soliciting quotations for the replacement of Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) at the Castle Point and Montrose VA Medical Centers, both part of the VA Hudson Valley Healthcare System in New York. This procurement is issued as a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number 36C24226Q0620, and is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), in accordance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific requirements.
**Purpose and Scope**
The primary objective of this acquisition is to address the urgent need for modernized physical security infrastructure at the Castle Point VA Medical Center (Wappingers Falls, NY) and the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Hospital (Montrose, NY). The existing PACS and IDS at these facilities have reached end-of-life, with critical components no longer supported by manufacturers and system failures already impacting operations. The VA’s Electronics, Engineering, and Police leadership have developed a multi-year, phased strategy to replace these systems, ensuring continuity of healthcare security operations and future integration with video surveillance upgrades.
**Key Requirements and Deliverables**
The contractor will be responsible for the supply, installation, programming, and commissioning of new PACS and IDS equipment, as well as integration with the Lynx duress system and VA Police radios. The solution must leverage Software House CCURE 9000 access control technology and DMP XR550 intrusion detection controllers, with detailed device lists provided for each site. The scope includes:
- Installation of iStar G2 Controllers, access control readers, door contacts, request-to-exit devices, electric locking hardware, and associated cabling.
- Installation of DMP XR550 controllers, keypads, PIR sensors, glass break detectors, duress/panic devices, and all necessary wiring.
- Integration of the Lynx duress system with CCURE 9000 and VA Police radios.
- Clear marking and documentation of all cables, panels, and device terminations per site drawings.
- Posting of programming pages for PACS and IDS devices at each panel.
- Installation of CC9000 ACS Desktop Site Server with Dell monitor for system viewing.
- Coordination and delivery of training for VA Hudson Valley Health Care security representatives, including a minimum of four hours of administrator/operator instruction for the access control system.
- Project management, labor, programming, and CADD support for both phases (access control/duress integration and intrusion detection).
- Comprehensive closeout documentation, including kickoff meeting, daily and weekly status reports, inventory submission, system testing documentation, acceptance testing, training records, completion photos, and customer sign-off.
