S--MOBILE SECURITY SERVICES WAWSC WAREHOUSE

The Washington Water Science Center (WAWSC) requires the procurement of two mobile security systems to enhance the security of its Field Services Facility in Lakewood, WA, following recent break-ins. The facility spans approximately 150,000 square feet and consists of two main buildings: a warehouse and a repair shop. The mobile security systems must be self-sufficient, not dependent on the on-site USGS internet or cloud services, and included essential features such as 360-degree camera capabilities, surveillance monitoring, two-way communication, strobe and floodlighting, breach identification, and real-time notifications to USGS contacts and law enforcement. Additionally, the systems should offer storage for images and recordings for at least 90 days and be operable via smartphones or laptops. The installation, setup, and training on the devices will be conducted by the vendor. This initiative underscores the federal government's commitment to safeguarding its properties and preventing future security breaches.
