INTRODUCTION The NMCSD Operations Management/ Security Department is tasked with conducting market research for a Panic Alarm System for the NMCSD Commanding Officer’s office and the NMCSD Pharmacy Department. The Panic Alarm Monitoring System must be compatible with current system installed in NMCSD’s Pharmacy Department. Using Government provided space, potential vendors determined to be technically capable may be invited to provide product demonstrations including question and answer sessions with hospital staff members. BACKGROUND Respondents should identify their product capabilities that would help fulfill the current specified requirements. The information gathered, if deemed successful, will be used to formulate final requirements, which may subsequently be posted as a solicitation for competitive bids. Installation and activation of a duress button in the NMCSD Commanding Officer’s office and activation of NMCSD Pharmacy Department’s duress system. The description below outlines the minimum requirements for Panic Alarm System at NMCSD. REQUIREMENTS The Government requests a Panic Alarm System with the following minimum specifications: All systems must be compatible with currently installed panic alarm systems from the Commanding Officer’s office, and Pharmacy Department to Naval Base San Diego (NBSD) Security Dispatch. Meet all specified government standards: Connect a telephone line to the Pharmacy Department’s alarm panel to report to the Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) receivers in building 601 at Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) Regional Dispatch Center (RDC). Install duress buttons in the Commanding Officer’s office, the Executive Officer’s office, and the front desk that will be connected to an alarm panel in the command suite. Install an alarm panel in the command suite with a telephone line that will report to the DMP receivers in building 601 at NBPL RDC.
