Replace Physical Access Control System

The Department of Veterans Affairs in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is seeking an architectural and engineering firm to design the replacement of its physical access control system. The agency requires a design narrative and analysis for each involved technical discipline, including architectural, mechanical, and fire protection elements. The selected firm must conduct a complete walkthrough of the design with the Contracting Officer's Representative at the ninety-five percent submission stage and incorporate any identified adjustments into the final one hundred percent submission. The agency requires strict adherence to all Quality Alerts and design standards found on the Technical Information Library. All designs must comply with the engineering handbooks, manuals, guides, information, schedules, criteria, details, and requirements on that platform. The project performance will occur entirely onsite at the Pittsburgh facility over a contract period of one year. This procurement is set aside exclusively for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses located within the United States. The agency is currently seeking proposals and has not disclosed a specific budget range. Evaluation will focus on the firm's ability to meet the technical design standards and successfully execute the physical access control system replacement within the one-year timeframe.
