*** The project description has been updated to include electronic cores and keys, using the Medeco XT system or approved equal as the basis of design***

Description of Project: 657-26-105, Upgrade Interior Physical Security at the Sain Louis City, MO VAMC, John Cochran Division. This project will upgrade the security of its campus by conducting a rekey with electronic cores and keys, using the Medeco XT system or approved equal as the basis of design. This upgrade will include electronic cores and keys, software, key chargers, and remote programmer station. Also, installing motion intrusion equipment and security cameras monitored by VA Police, upgrading fire doors with security wire mesh embedded glass, adding metal exclusion cages around select windows, and installing emergency door marker signage for identification purposes.

Justification: Key control is out of control as current standard 6-pin keys can be copied at a public kiosk and shared amongst employees and others. Converting to electronic cores and keys reduces the ability for unauthorized reproduction and distribution. A Request for proposal is estimated to be published on SAM.GOV on or after January 10, 2026.

The site visit will be clarified in the solicitation. Interested bidders are highly encouraged to attend. Period of performance is expected to be approximately 365 calendar days.
