The requirement also includes support for employee Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card access used to control entry through designated secure doors within the facility. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to Siemens Industry, Inc., as the existing Visitor Center security and alarm system is a proprietary Siemens system that was installed as part of the recent building rehabilitation project.

Siemens Industry Inc., has been identified through Market Research as the only vendor that can provide the service, as the security and alarm system is proprietary and they are registered in SAM.gov. The Government intends to use Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 as mandated by the DOI.
