This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines requirements for procuring and installing a Honeywell Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Lackland-Kelly Annex, Building 1003. The project secures multiple rooms within the 2,610-square-foot facility, which is operated by the Joint Electromagnetic Warfare Center. The contractor must be Honeywell Vindicator certified and provide all necessary equipment, tools, labor, and electrical infrastructure. Key tasks include installing a Vindicator 1500 or V5 processor, keypads, balanced magnetic switches, passive infrared sensors, battery backups, and a video management server with surveillance cameras. All work must comply with strict federal security standards, including IC Tech Spec ICD/ICS 705 and UL 2050 Extent 3. The contractor is responsible for coordinating with the 802d Security Forces Squadron (SFS) for system integration, programming, and a three-phase certification testing process. This testing includes a Contractor Verification Test, a 72-hour continuous test, and a 30-day operational test. Additionally, the contractor must provide up to six hours of video-documented training for government staff, deliver electronic as-built drawings, and provide a comprehensive one-year workmanship and equipment warranty with 24-hour response support.

The structure spans 2,610 square feet with dimensions of 56 feet in length, 44 feet in width, and a height of 18 feet. It consists of a single above-ground floor with no basement. The document details administrative and geographic identifiers for the property, including its Real Property Unique Identifier (RPUID 441416), Category Code (159353), FAC Code (1443), and precise GPS coordinates. Additionally, it references an official SharePoint URL for further facility management and includes an attached first-floor plan diagram. This facility profile is typical of inventory assessments used in federal property management and procurement planning.

This federal memorandum justifies a brand-name acquisition for a Honeywell Vindicator Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Access Control System (ACS) at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)-Lackland, Texas. The Joint Electromagnetic Warfare Center (JEWC) requires the installation of these security systems, along with a Video Management Server and cameras, to secure multiple rooms in Building 1003. The Honeywell Vindicator system is mandated because it is the only technology compatible with the existing primary monitoring console operated by the 802d Security Forces Squadron (SFS) at the Base Defense Operations Center. Utilizing any other brand would prevent critical alarm and duress signals from routing to security personnel, creating unacceptable security risks. Additionally, proprietary restrictions require that only certified Honeywell technicians or authorized resellers perform the installation and configuration. To ensure fair and reasonable pricing while maintaining brand integrity, the contracting team conducted market research that identified nine capable small business resellers. Consequently, the procurement will be competed as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside Request for Quote (RFQ) on SAM.gov. To minimize future brand-name restrictions, the government will continue to monitor the market for open-architecture alternatives that can integrate with the existing infrastructure without duplicating costs or voiding warranties.

The Department of the Air Force, 502d Air Base Wing at Joint Base San Antonio, has issued Amendment 0001 for solicitation FA3016-26-Q-0073 regarding the Honeywell Vindicator IDS. The primary purpose of this amendment is to extend the quote submission deadline from Thursday, July 9, 2026, to Monday, July 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM CDT. This extension provides the multi-functional team with sufficient time to review and respond to vendor questions submitted prior to the July 6, 2026, deadline. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged. Prospective bidders must acknowledge receipt of this amendment.
