The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks information on commercial vendors that are capable of providing maintenance services for an Exacqvision network video recorder (NVR) server. The system is used as part of the NanoFab safety program to monitor facility users and conditions in the laboratory and support spaces. In addition, the cameras are monitored by the campus fire department during off hours. The existing system includes an ExacqVision video server (128 channel) with 8TB storage, distributed IP cameras with PoE, and ExacqVision 5 Client software for viewing current and stored video distributed throughout the CNST and NIST Safety departments. The focus of this Sources Sought Notice is to determine the availability of vendors capable of providing the required software licenses as well as the capability and experience with installation and maintenance to the existing equipment. The required maintenance shall meet the specifications described below. 1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS a. Vendor shall provide qualified personnel to perform maintenance work. i) Onsite personnel shall have a minimum of three years of windows operating system experience. ii) Onsite personnel shall have a minimum of three years of Exacqvision software configuration experience. b. Exacqvision Network Video Recorder Maintenance. i) Upgrade operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 10. ii) Install (5) NIST supplied 8 TB hard drives into existing RAID 5 storage array replacing existing drives to expand storage. iii) NIST will backup existing data files prior to work starting. iv) Vendor will be responsible for ensuring existing server, client configurations, and licensing information are preserved. c. Exacqvison Software Support. i) Vendor shall provide Exacqvision NVR software support for 128 camera licenses for a period of two years from end of existing support, currently September 5, 2019. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed and specifications are developed for a vendor that can meet NIST's minimum requirements, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a Purchase Order. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified during this market research stage, then any competitive procurement that resulted would be conducted as a small business set-aside.
