Vindicator IDS/ACS Windows 10 Upgrade

This document addresses questions regarding a government Request for Information (RFI) dated April 3, 2026, focusing on firmware upgrades and equipment relocation within various Air Force buildings. The upgrades will affect ACS v5 systems in five specific buildings (4413, 4837, 1610, 4843, and 4836), and potentially Central, Event, and Enrollment Manager v5 systems. Equipment from Building 4837 will not be reinstalled there after removal, as per the Statement of Work. A critical dependency is the base's IDS firmware upgrade to Windows 10, which is scheduled to begin in August and must be completed before the project's involved systems are upgraded. The RFI clarifies technical requirements and project timelines for these infrastructure updates.

This Statement of Work outlines the requirements for a contractor to upgrade the Honeywell-Vindicator Integrated Access Control System (ACS) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to ensure full Windows 10 compatibility. The project includes furnishing and installing a new Vindicator Security Server, two new Badge Manager workstations, and associated software and firmware. The contractor must be a certified installer of Honeywell-Vindicator products and adhere to specific work schedules, base regulations, and security protocols, including background checks and proper identification. The work involves potential relocation and phased installation of equipment, with a critical deadline of July 1, 2026, for the removal of existing server equipment from a specific facility. All work must be certified by Electronic Systems Security upon completion.

The 355th Contracting Squadron is issuing a Single Source Justification for the IDS - ACS to WIN 10 UPGRADE project at Davis-Monthan AFB. This project involves upgrading Intrusion Detection Systems and badging equipment to Windows 10 compatibility, relocating a security server, and utilizing Vindicator-based technology. The justification for a single source stems from the Air Force Non-Nuclear Configuration Management Database Equipment Approval Memo and existing Vindicator infrastructure within a DIA-accredited SCIF. Procuring alternative brands would cause significant delays, re-engineering, and violate accreditation standards. Despite the brand-name restriction, market research confirms sufficient competition exists for Vindicator-certified installers, allowing for a Women-Owned Small Business set-aside solicitation on SAM.gov under NAICS 561621. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available for this action, with a commitment to broaden competition for future needs.
