The Bureau of Engraving & Printing (BEP) is issuing a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for brand-name Axis IP Cameras and equipment for its facilities in Fort Worth, TX, and Washington, D.C. This is a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-aside acquisition under NAICS Code 334419, with a size standard of 750 employees. The Government intends to establish a single-award, firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a 60-month ordering period, consisting of a base ordering period and four 12-month option periods. Offers are due by November 4, 2025, 3:00 PM CST, and all inquiries must be submitted by October 29, 2025, 12:00 PM CST, via email to Terry.Lawrence@bep.gov. The evaluation will prioritize technical acceptability and the lowest evaluated price, with pricing provided through Attachment A. The document details packaging, inspection, acceptance, and delivery terms, including specific requirements for shipping to both BEP locations. It also incorporates various Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and provisions related to representations, certifications, and prohibitions, notably concerning telecommunications and video surveillance equipment.
The document outlines an equipment list likely for a government RFP related to surveillance or security infrastructure. It details various AXIS cameras, including dome, panoramic, and block models, with quantities ranging from 50 to 400 units. Supporting equipment such as high-power and midspan Power over Ethernet (POE) injectors (class 4, 4, 8, 16, and 24-port) are also listed, with quantities up to 450 units. Additionally, the list includes Milestone licenses (1000 units), 256 GB Sandisk Extreme SD Cards (1003 units), and AXIS Perimeter Defender (150 units). The comprehensive nature of the list suggests a large-scale deployment of surveillance technology and associated infrastructure.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is seeking a contractor through a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to transition its aging analog CCTV systems at the Western Currency Facility and DC Currency Facility to an IP-based camera system. The contractor will supply brand-name Axis IP cameras, licenses, power over Ethernet midspans, camera analytics plugins, and mounts. All items must be new, in original packaging, with manuals and mounting hardware, and include a one-year warranty. Deliveries to BEP facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, and Washington, D.C., require advance scheduling with specific information provided. The contractor must adhere to delivery schedules and facility access protocols. No travel or special security clearances are required for this contract, but the contractor must be aware of potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) and report them to the Contracting Officer.
The provided document is a pricing worksheet for BEP IP Camera Transition Equipment. It lists various Axis IP camera models and related equipment such as POE injectors and midspans, Milestone licenses, and SD cards, along with their respective quantities.
