STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
FOR
Heartland District Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility Intrusion
Detection System Maintenance Contract
1.0 GENERAL
The USCG Heartland District is seeking a contractor to inspect, maintain, and repair the
intrusion detection system (IDS) for the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility
(SCIF). Prior to submitting a quote, it is mandatory to examine the Statement of Work and it
is highly recommended to visit the facility to take field evaluations and become familiar with
existing conditions under which the work will be performed. All parts, installation, and repairs
shall meet or exceed manufacture’s specifications and industry standards. All work shall be
completed by a licensed contractor with in-depth knowledge of XR550 alarm systems. All work
shall be completed as outlined in this Scope of Work. No work is authorized without the
authorization of the Contracting Officer (KO) or the Contracting Officers Representative (COR).
1.1 BACKGROUND
The SCIF is a secure space that allows the transmission of TOP SECRET information. The
District needs to have a contractor conduct regular testing and maintenance of the IDS
alarm panel and other components to ensure that the space is fully secure. Currently the
system is fully functioning but constantly produces false alarms activating local responders
at random times throughout the day/night. This statement of work consists of quarterly
inspections of the IDS and preventative maintenance of the panel and other components of
the system, as well as semi-annual tests of the alarm system. It will also allow District
personnel to contact contractors to conduct ad hoc maintenance and repair of the system if
emergency repairs are needed.
1.2 SCOPE
• Quarterly inspections of the control panel, batteries (primary and
backup), motion detectors, secure door, and tamper switches.
Preventative maintenance will also be conducted during these
inspections.
• Semi-annual (twice a year) testing of the alarm system to ensure it is
fully functioning and alerts monitoring systems of intrusion.
• On-call technicians able to respond within 24 hours to conduct
emergency repairs if the system suddenly malfunctions.
• The IDS is a XR550DEA-G alarm system with encryption, 350A gray
enclosure, and two Lead-Acid, 12 Volt, 7.0Ah batteries.
