The U. S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a campus located in Gaithersburg, MD. The Gaithersburg, MD campus is approximately 578 acres, constructed in the 1960’s, that is a secure federal facility, closed to the public, that consists of multiple buildings with a perimeter fence.

The campus has a Lenel OnGuard Physical Access Control System (PACS) with approximately 600 card readers and various auxiliary alarm points that was installed in 2003. The campus has a Milestone Video Management System (VMS) with 200 cameras that are IP based. Both systems are operating on a separate, isolated security network on Cisco routers and switches placed throughout the buildings on campus. NIST’s Office of Information Systems Management (OISM) performs the Security Assessment & Authorization (SA&A) internally and the Security Systems Access Control Group performs all necessary Plan of Action & Milestone (POA&M) remediation.

The NIST Emergency Services Office (ESO) manages and maintains all aspects of the security system. The system consists of the Security Network, Physical Access Control System (PACS) and Video Management Systems (VMS). This is an accredited information technology system certified to operate on site. The database contains Privacy Act information, as well as controls for the protection of high value assets and classified material located on site.

The objective of this procurement is to establish an indefinite delivery/ indefinite qty (IDIQ) contract to support the current and future needs of the Security Systems and Access Controls Group within the Emergency Services Office. This IDIQ would provide flexibility in the maintenance and other support contracts for the Physical Access Control System (PACS), Video Management System (VMS), Key Management System (KMS), among other primary and secondary systems used on campus.
