- The US Department of Education Office of the Chief Information Officer intends to issue a sole source modification to contract number ED-01-PO-1114 with Silent Partner Security Systems, Inc for DSX security equipment and installation at the Potomac Center Plaza site. The anticipated award on a sole source basis is in accordance with FAR subpart 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This notice is for information purposes only and is not a request for proposals. DSX Systems are a patented product sold from the manufacturer to a licensed DSX dealer or installer only and are not available on the open market for non-DSX authorized installers and dealers. Silent Partner Security Systems Inc. has been granted exclusive dealership and installation rights to the Washington, DC region by DSX manufacturing and are the sole source for the specific equipment. Beginning in April 2004, approximately 1200 ED employees and contractor personnel will relocate to the Potomac Center Plaza. The Department has a requirement to install a security system in this facility. The security system in this facility must be 100% compatible with the existing security system. In addition, the Department has a requirement to continue to maintain and upgrade the currently installed DSX system in ROB-3, FOB-6, Capital Place, Union Center Plaza, Marry E. Switzer building and the RTSC in Atlanta. Only the DSX system can meet the requirement of the Department of Education for the new systems and the maintenance/upgrades of the existing systems. Specifications required: WINDOWS based multi-tasking software that provides true 32-bit access control based on the WindowsNT format and is capable of monitoring up to 128 readers per location and up to 32,000 locations. The software must provide and be incorporated into: Complete access control and alarm monitoring for sites, including: Access control. Security: A. Point Monitoring; B. Elevator Control; C. Photo ID Badging; D. Guard Tour; E. Key Tracking; F. Image Recall with Historic and User Accountability Reporting; G. Live CCTV display/control; and, H. Interface with Paging, CCTV, Parking, Central Station Automated Alarm Systems, HVAC, and Elevator Control Systems. The system must also provide ease and access to moderately trained operators, ability to expand without IT system modifications through updated software only and providing the following criteria: A. PC based: WINDOWS application based Building/Facility Management and Monitoring System used to control and monitor access and alarm activity. Provide controllers that offer various configurations of card reader inputs, relay outputs and alarm inputs. Controllers must be able to be combined to provide the exact number of inputs and outputs required for each application. The controllers must provide fully distributed database architecture with real-time processing performed at each controller. Shall have the ability to download existing WINDOWS based database and image files.; B. Distributed Processing: Provide that all information (time, date, valid codes, access levels, etc) is downloaded to the controllers so that each controller makes its own access control decisions. No hierarchical or intermediate processors to make decisions for the controllers. The PC is not required to make any decisions for the controllers including any global functions. Provides instant response to card reads regardless of system size. Must provide for no degradation of system performance in the event of communication loss to the host (or actual loss of host). All time zones, access levels, linking events, holiday schedules, and global functions remain operational. Upon communication loss to the host all controllers shall automatically buffer event transactions until the host communications is restored, at which time the buffered events will be automatically uploaded to the host. The system must maintain full feature capability regardless of the style of the communications from the PC. Sites can utilize all standard features like elevator control and linking between controllers without the PC needing to be online.; C. Controllers: The controllers must provide specific configuration. The first controller of every location can be designated as the "Master". All subsequent controllers at the same location can be designated as "Slaves". Any controller may be selected by dipswitch settings to work as the Master controller. The Master controller must perform all the same functions as a Slave controller, but also be responsible for polling all Slave controllers and communicating with the host PC. The Master controller must not make any access decisions for the Slave controllers. Must work as the messenger for information from the controllers to the PC and for information from the PC to the controllers.; D. Controller operating system: Must reside in Flash ROM on each controller. It must be upgradeable thru a download from the Host PC to each of the controllers in the system. Upgrades in controller operating system shall NOT require PROM changes.; and, E. Processing Power: Each controller must contain it's own microprocessor (same as a PC) as its engine. To allow for processing power to be distributed throughout the system. The System must be capable of providing the following capabilities: A. Support a minimum of 32,000 locations having grouping capabilities to share cardholder databases between sites.; B. Support a minimum of 4,096,000 readers or 128 reader-controlled doors per location.; C. Support a minimum of 160 different card reader formats; D. Support 1.6-billion cardholders total or up to 50,000 access codes/cards per location.; E. Support a minimum of 32,000 supervised alarm inputs or a minimum of 2048 per location per location.; F.
