- This Sources Sought Synopsis is issued in an effort to maximize competition. Should anything in this requirement be construed as limiting competition, please feel free to contact the MICC Special Competition Advocate (SCA) at dean.m.carsello.civ@mail.mil. Interested parties are highly encouraged to identify any unique characteristics of this acquisition that might limit competition and provide feedback, alternatives or solutions. This is a follow-on requirement for providing Phantom Express Maintenance Support Services for the Directorate of Emergency Services at Fort Hood, Texas in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Phantom Express is the currently fielded Fort Hood Access Control Point Automation System. Phantom Express is comprised of Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) equipment and software, Shane-Gelling Company proprietary hardware kits, and Shane-Gelling Company proprietary software. The entire Phantom Express system at Fort Hood is Government Owned; however, the source code for the Phantom Express software is owned by/proprietary to the Shane Gelling Company. A short synopsis of the required services extracted from the PWS is as follows: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, management, supervision, labor, tools, equipment, materials, and transportation, not identified as Government Furnished (Section3), necessary to perform the services detailed in this PWS and any task orders issued hereunder. This contract is for the maintenance, repair, installation, removal, and system administration of the Fort Hood Access Control Point Automation System, which includes the Phantom Express software and associated commercial off the shelf software, Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS), series of networked servers, controllers, Wireless Access Points (WAP), individual lane controllers, car counters, vehicle barrier gate operators, gate arms, gate arm interfaces, Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), traffic light interfaces, driver ID assemblies, monitors, computer peripherals, overhead matrix signs with guardhouse and remote location controlling, wireless handheld identification card scanners, registration terminals at various locations, kiosk enrollment stations, front end servers, redundant backup servers, sensors, connections, system wiring, control units, and conduit. In addition to the existing system, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing installation, removal, maintenance, repair, services, and system administration to any system after expansion should the mission require it. Maintenance of the Fort Hood Access Control Point Automation System and any related equipment that is identified in this PWS as part of that system shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and specifications to ensure optimal system performance. The Government's Baseline Staffing Estimate for this requirement per year is as follows: Program Manager - 1,920 Net Productive Hours System/Database Administrator - 1,920 Net Productive Hours Support Technician - 3,840 Net Productive Hours The Government anticipates a 12-month base period of performance and two 12-month option periods with an anticipated performance start date of 1 March 2015.

To qualify for this requirement a Contractor must be trained and certified as a dealer and installer by the Shane Gelling Company.
