Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has issued a Notice of Intent to acquire Intellekey key lock hardware on a sole-source basis for the Chilled Water Plant Replacement and Utility Upgrades Project at the VA West Haven Campus in New Haven, CT. This notice serves as market research to identify other qualified sources, not a request for competitive proposals. Responses are due by February 19, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
The VA West Haven Medical Center requires the Intellekey system to maintain a consistent access security system across its facilities. The new chilled water plant's locking hardware must integrate with the existing Intellekey system to ensure systematic management, enable a single keying tracking mechanism, facilitate emergency response with a master key for police and fire, and reduce maintenance costs. Using a different system poses a risk to immediate access and security requirements.
