U.S. Embassy Antananarivo: Central Alarm Monitoring Services

The Department of State is soliciting central alarm monitoring services for the U.S. Embassy in Antananarivo, Madagascar, under solicitation number PR15858949. This requirement is classified under NAICS 561612 Security Guards and Patrol Services and PSC K063 Modification of Equipment- Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems. The primary point of contact is Ruth Rajaona, and all responses are due by April 17, 2026.

The scope of work involves providing alarm installation, maintenance, and 24/7 central alarm monitoring services. The service must include a dedicated 24/7 response capability from a local guard mobile patrol or commercial security company, though responders are not required to be armed. Vendors may provide quotes for two distinct options: either the provision and maintenance of vendor-owned alarm systems or the installation of communication modules into existing AES 5100 and 6100 systems to facilitate communication with a monitoring center.

Contractors are responsible for comprehensive housekeeping and restoration, which includes patching, repairing, and repainting walls, ceilings, and trim to match existing finishes. The service provider must remove all obsolete equipment, unused cabling, and debris daily, ensuring no unused openings remain in the security envelope. Performance concludes with a final walkthrough with embassy security and facilities staff to verify the proper operation of the systems and the satisfactory restoration of all affected surfaces. Two attachments, including an updated request for quotes dated April 2, 2026, provide further details for this solicitation.
