Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to procure and install an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). This procurement will utilize a brand name or equal description for the "DAQ StarWatch Security Management System (SMS) Software" and compatible hardware. The purpose of this notice is to inform industry and solicit capability statements to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. Capability statements are due by June 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT.
Scope of Requirements
USACE requires an IDS that is 100% compatible with and natively communicates with the existing DAQ StarWatch Command and Control (C2) head-end servers. This is crucial to ensure the operational integrity of the installation's security posture and meet UFC 4-021-02, Electronic Security Systems requirements. Standardization is necessary to maintain compatibility with current equipment, software, and service contracts, avoiding substantial duplication of costs for installation, training, and reprogramming.
Compatible systems must also comply with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Provision 52.225-12, Notice of Buy American Requirement-Construction Materials Under Trade Agreements, and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Clause 52.225-11, Buy American-Construction Materials under Trade Agreements.
