Description
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
for
Coast Guard Southwest District Electronic Security Systems (ESS) Modernization
1.0 GENERAL
1.1 BACKGROUND
Electronic Security Systems (ESS) at certain United States Coast Guard (USCG) facilities
have become obsolete and no longer meet current operational or security standards. These
legacy systems, often comprised of outdated CCTV and proximity card readers, require
modernization to enhance facility security and ensure alignment with federal directives.
1.2 SCOPE
This Statement of Work (SOW) defines the requirement for a Contractor to provide a
complete, turn-key solution to modernize the Video Surveillance System (VSS) and Physical
Access Control System (PACS) at the following various locations throughout the Coast
Guard District Southwest (CGD-SW) Area of Operations (AOR). The CGD-SW AOR
encompasses the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, with unit locations
primarily found in California.
The scope of this project includes all tasks necessary to deliver a complete and fully
functional system. This includes conducting a site survey, developing an ESS Security Plan,
procuring all required materials, professionally decommissioning and removing legacy
equipment, and installing, testing, and commissioning the new VSS and PACS in
accordance with the approved plan.
1.3 OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of this project is to replace legacy security systems with modern, fully
compliant VSS and PACS. The new systems must meet all applicable National Security
Standards and be designed for future integration into a centralized monitoring architecture.
The new PACS must be a complete, end-to-end, FIPS 201-compliant solution, utilizing
components listed on the GSA Approved Products List (APL), and be capable of validating
PIV credentials from all federal agencies. The final result shall be fully operational, tested,
and accepted systems that enhance the security and operational readiness of the facility.

Security Plan. The plan must include, at a minimum:
a) A detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) listing all required hardware and software.
b) Manufacturer make and model numbers for all components. For all PACS
components, the BOM must include the GSA APL approval number for each
item, ensuring they are compatible with the existing ESS at Coast Guard Base
Alameda for future integration.
c) Scaled floor plans and site maps indicating the precise installation location of
each component (e.g., cameras, sensors, access control panels).
d) A network diagram illustrating how all components will be interconnected and
integrated into the existing network infrastructure.
2.1.1.3 Submit for Review & Revision: The Contractor shall submit the draft plan…
