The integrated PSS shall include access control, alarm monitoring, intrusion detection, closed circuit television (CCTV) and personnel and package screening and Government provided security communications. The elements of access control include electronic and mechanical devices which restrict or permit movement of persons into secured areas through portals or barriers.

The PSS's front-end equipment shall be located in the NCC's Emergency Command Control Center (ECCC). The project includes the furnishing and installation of a Secondary Command Control Center (SCCC) workstation/console and associated equipment in the Altmeyer Building which is separate from the NCC Building but is located on the SSA Complex. The system shall also have expansion capability to provide remote monitoring of security systems at other selected SSA facilities throughout the U.S. Time for completion of the project shall be approximately 395-calendar days after the contractor receives the notice to proceed.
