The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, has issued a Sources Sought notice to identify potential suppliers for door locks during the renovation of Sijan Hall at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado. This initiative aims to gather market insights for procurement that may include both specifications and potential brand name Justification and Approval targeting a construction project valued between $100 million and $250 million, with door locks estimated at $60,000 to $90,000. The renovation will occur in phases, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations while incorporating modern systems compliant with DoD standards, such as energy management and fire protection. Suppliers are urged to provide capabilities documentation demonstrating their products' compatibility with Yale brand requirements, addressing maintenance, and repair aspects. The anticipated contract will not stand alone for the door locks, as the government seeks a single construction contract. Interested vendors must submit their capabilities statements by March 5, 2025, to be considered, with strict confidentiality protocols for proprietary information. This Sources Sought serves as preliminary market research rather than a solicitation for proposals.
