History/Scope The access control and video surveillance systems of AFNWC were installed as each facility’s construction was completed. The three main access control and video surveillance systems were integrated together in 2021/2022 for consolidated management. AFNWC currently maintains seven access control systems supporting unclassified, collateral, SCIF and SAPF areas. The Hirsch Access Control system will need to be upgraded to the latest hardware, software, and firmware revisions. The seven systems shall be evaluated for consolidation onto the AFNET NIPRNet to eliminate the abundance of stand-alone systems and provide a redundant campus wide solution. The existing surveillance cameras shall be integrated into Velocity Vision to allow for a fully integrated access control and surveillance system. The upgraded system will ensure compliance with FIPS 201-03 and 140-03. The proposed effort also includes the addition of cameras, badge readers, and enrollment systems. The contractor will be required to provide on-site follow on hardware and software support to include licensing and upgrades. Questions Responses to this RFI shall address the questions below.
