Quick Summary
The Michigan Air National Guard, Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), is conducting a Sources Sought for market research to identify capable sources for a turnkey solution to replace existing Onity magnetic stripe locks with new Onity Trillium RFID locks at approximately 103 facilities.

- RFID wall readers, power supplies, and controllers.
- 10,000 dual-tech RFID-HICO key cards.
- Two (2) OnPortal front desk encoding systems (computers, software, encoders).
- Four (4) portable programming tablets.

It also details server specifications for the system management computers and operational requirements for the portable tablets.
