This is NOT a Request for Proposal, Invitation for Bid, or an announcement of a solicitation. Response to this RFI is strictly voluntary and will not affect any potential offeror's ability to submit an offer if a solicitation is released. There is no bid package or solicitation document associated with this announcement. The purpose of this document is to identify potential sources, conduct market research, and develop a complete requirement. Any requests for a solicitation package will be disregarded. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or otherwise pay for the information solicited. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of preparing submissions in response to this RFI and the Government's use of such information. Submissions will not be returned to the sender. Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain industry comments on best practices for the installation of electronic security systems, to determine interest in participation, and to determine the availability of potential small businesses that can provide services for the United States Marshals Service (USMS). The information from this market research will help the USMS with their acquisition strategy. Firms are strongly encouraged to provide comments, questions, and suggestions relative to the project scope, methodologies and technologies, and approach. Any input that businesses or interested parties would like to provide will be reviewed and considered. Scope and Background: The USMS is responsible for the physical security of over 1000 facilities throughout 94 districts and within the 12 judicial circuits in the United States and its Territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands). These facilities are located in both densely populated metropolitan areas as well as sparsely populated remote locations covering larger geographic areas. Each facility may consist of any combination of publicly accessible, administrative, secure and prisoner detention and movement spaces. The USMS initiated approximately 300 new projects in Fiscal Year 2017, ranging from the installation of card readers to new Courthouse installations. The USMS operates advanced physical security equipment, both mechanical (locks, bollards, vehicle barriers, etc.) and electronic (CCTV Systems, Video Intercoms, Access Control Systems, and Intrusion Detection Systems, etc.) All installed equipment is designed to protect all participants in the federal judicial process to include access control, surveillance, alarm monitoring, threat reporting and response. The USMS is not resourced to organically maintain the equipment its personnel operate. The current state of the USMS' National Physical Security (NPS) Installation Program is as follows: - Projects are initiated when the Government issues an Request for Quote (RFQ), including Draft Statement of Work, to the Contractor. - The Contractor conducts site visit in order to determine the specific physical security system equipment, infrastructure, power requirements, and other conditions or requirements effecting installation. - The Contractor makes any necessary coordination with the facility manager and incorporates anticipated challenges and delays resulting from such coordination into their Quote to the Government. - Contractor Quote includes all materials, equipment, travel, labor, subcontractor requirements, power requirements and adverse conditions that may present challenges to project completion. - Contractor completes project and coordinates for Government inspection and acceptance.
