INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM SENSITIVE FOR CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FACILITY INSTALLATION AT NEW BOSTON SPACE FORCE STATION- RFI

The U.S. Air Force is seeking information from vendors for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) installation at the New Boston Space Force Station (NBSFS). This initiative focuses on designing, installing, and testing an IDS compliant with various security standards for a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). Vendors are invited to demonstrate their capability in providing a Vindicator system that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure. The project is structured in phases: Phase 1 involves thorough design documentation, including site surveys, system architecture, and training plans; Phase 2 covers installation and configuration of the IDS; Phase 3 addresses personnel training; Phase 4 includes rigorous testing; and Phase 5 outlines sustainment and maintenance requirements. Vendors are also informed of the importance of cybersecurity measures, independent power systems for uninterrupted service, and the necessity for personnel to have appropriate clearances. Submissions will help determine potential small business set-asides and inform acquisition strategies. The information gathered will be crucial for ensuring compliance with Department of Defense directives and successfully protecting classified material at the facility.
