Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (12th Air Force) is soliciting quotes for the installation, programming, and testing of Honeywell-Vindicator Integrated Access Control components at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ. This requirement, issued as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Program Sole Source solicitation, aims to enhance electronic card access as a subsystem to the existing Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Quotes are due by April 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM PDT.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide all labor, transportation, materials, and equipment to install, program, and test Honeywell-Vindicator Integrated Access Control System (ACS) components. This involves configuring ACS in Buildings 74, 75, and 70, and integrating them with existing IDS/ACS Badge Manager and Enrollment System control units in Buildings 70 and 75. The system must ensure proper communication between these buildings over the base NIPRNet, enabling Building 75 to program proximity badges for Building 74 access. The use of existing Protected Distribution Systems (PDS/underground conduit) is an alternative option if feasible. The contractor must be a certified installer of Honeywell-Vindicator products and familiar with the existing communication infrastructure.
