63 -- HIGH VALUE ITEM SECURITY SYSTEM (HVISS) Contact Lieutenant Colonel Bernard C. Wilson, Sr., (703) 704-2416/Contracting Officer, Peggy A. Melanson, (703) 704-2166. The US Army has identified a requirement to provide a means of reducing the loss or theft of high dollar value, sensitive, and pliferable items and to aid in the recovery of these types of lost or stolen items. The requirement includes both the identification of security containers, i.e., safes, security containers, cabinets, lockers, and cages, and well as the identification of precision location and tracking systems utilizing passive or active tagging or material information sent through communications links such as UHF/VHF, two-ray radio, radio frequency, or other means of signal transmission. Container sizes may vary from small (12in X 24in approximate size) to be used within vehicles or aircraft to large (84in X 72in X 48in approximate size) to be used in storage areas. A tagging or tracking system must be able to be mounted on a variety of individual pieces of equipment and provide a transmission link to a command center. Tagging or tracking devices must be low-cost, omni-directional, and approximately three inches or smaller in size. This is not a solicitation notice, but a market survey to determine potential sources for an enhanced security protection, tracking, and recovery system. This is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Any cost incurred as a result of response to this notice shall be borne by the offeror and shall not be charged to the Government for reimbursement. All responsible sources may submit information which shall be considered by the Government. Responses are requested to the POC not later than 30 days after the publication of this notice.
