Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of the Interior’s U.S. Geological Survey is seeking sources for replacement vehicle access gate controllers at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, to improve security and access control for the facility. The work calls for removing the existing gate operators and installing two chain-driven replacement systems, identified as Max Controls Max 2200 PRO slide gate operators or an equivalent, with all materials, labor, equipment, travel, and supervision included. The replacement must account for the existing oversized gates, integrate with the center’s AMAG security system through kiosks, badge readers, and loop sensors, and include new loop sensors and a photo eye infrared sensor, with work coordinated to minimize disruption and completed within 60 days of award. This is a sources sought market research notice rather than a solicitation, and responses are due by May 27, 2026 at 7:00 AM Eastern time by email to dayna_parkin@ios.doi.gov.

AI Summary

The Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) requires replacement of two chain-driven vehicle access gate operators. These gates are crucial for maintaining security and monitoring facility access for staff, vehicles, vessels, tools, and equipment. The existing gate motors, installed in 2010, are obsolete, causing sporadic malfunctions and making replacement parts difficult to find. The contractor will provide all materials, labor, and supervision to remove existing components and install new Max Controls Max 2200 PRO slide gate operators or equivalent. This includes calculating motor size, assessing engineering and power requirements, and accommodating oversized gates (28 ft. and 58.5 ft. in length). The new operators must integrate seamlessly with the facility's remote access security software (AMAG security software, managed by Convergint Technologies) via desktop kiosks, badge readers, and loop sensors. The project requires new loop sensors and a photo eye infrared sensor for safety. A site visit is highly encouraged for vendors to assess the property before bidding. The period of performance is 60 days from the award date, with work to be coordinated to minimize interference with ongoing government operations. All workmanship and materials are subject to inspection and a minimum 12-month warranty.
