Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service (IHS), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking to enhance physical security and compliance with federal security requirements through the installation and upgrade of video surveillance systems at multiple healthcare facilities. This initiative follows site walkthroughs and surveys conducted by Puyenpa Technologies, which identified existing security gaps and recommended system architecture focused on pharmacy areas and medication storage. Work Details The contractor will be responsible for providing all management, labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, supervision, and incidentals necessary to design, furnish, install, configure, test, and commission complete operational IP-based video surveillance systems at the specified IHS facilities. The work includes: - Installation of a modern IP-based video surveillance solution suitable for healthcare environments. - Ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. - Coverage of pharmacies, medication storage areas, LAN rooms, and associated hallways. - Providing a system capable of supporting a minimum of 30 days of video retention. - Implementing digital privacy masking for sensitive areas. - All equipment must be new and commercially available. Specific installations include: 1. Cochiti Health Clinic - 6 interior cameras covering lobby and pharmacy areas. 2. Santa Clara Indian Health Center - 6 interior cameras in pharmacy spaces. 3. Taos Picuris Service Unit - 13 IP cameras replacing an analog system. 4. Ute Mountain Ute Health Center - 17 IP cameras covering various critical areas. Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the construction projects will be performed (if provided) Place of Performance The work will be performed at multiple locations including: Cochiti Health Clinic (Cochiti Pueblo, NM), Santa Clara Indian Health Center (Española, NM), Taos Picuris Service Unit (Taos, NM), and Ute Mountain Ute Health Center (Towaoc, CO). Bidder Requirements Bidders must meet the following requirements: - Must be an Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE). - Must demonstrate relevant experience in providing turnkey IP-based video surveillance systems in operational healthcare settings within the past five years. - Must provide evidence of experience in coordinating construction activities in occupied facilities to minimize disruption to clinical operations. - Must have all installations performed by certified personnel. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This notice indicates a sole-source award for installation and upgrade of IP-based video surveillance systems at multiple IHS healthcare facilities, including pharmacy areas and medication storage. A closely related prior effort is reflected in award 75H70622A00005, where Synergy Group JV supported maintenance, repair, replacement, and expansion of existing security cameras and physical access control systems across IHS hospitals and clinics, explicitly including installation of surveillance systems at pharmacy locations and related pharmacy department support (e.g., CIV card provision). The scope described for the current opportunity—pharmacy-focused camera installation/upgrade within occupied healthcare facilities—appears to be a continuation or expansion of the prior surveillance/camera modernization work under the earlier BPA.
