DHS OIG physical security system upgrades: 29 intrusion detection systems and access controls

DHS OIG plans a sole-source, 12-month upgrade of physical security systems at its facilities through a modification to an existing Federal Supply Schedule order with Security Hunter, Inc. - Buyer: Department of Homeland Security, Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG). - Procurement approach: Sole-source modification to an existing FSS order with Security Hunter, Inc.; this is a planned procurement, not an award announcement. - Intrusion detection: Convert all 29 systems from analog to digital, networked communications before analog phone service is discontinued in January 2027. - Physical access control: Upgrade systems with modern controllers and PIV/CAC-compatible readers; requirements include 200-bit PIV-class encryption, PIV/CAC-only credentials, keypad-based two-factor authentication in sensitive areas, and OSDP reader communications. - Duration and rationale: The modification has a 12-month period of performance. DHS OIG cites the incumbent’s system-specific expertise, transition schedule and security risks, and an estimated $100,000 cost to reproduce existing design work. - Scope limitations: The notice does not provide equipment brands, part numbers, quantities for access-control components, or a contract value. The value range below is a rough estimate, not a published government estimate.
