U.S. Embassy Antananarivo: Central Alarm Monitoring Services

The U.S. Department of State requires central alarm monitoring services for the U.S. Embassy in Antananarivo, Madagascar, under solicitation PR15858949. The scope of work includes two options: the installation and maintenance of a completely new service provider-owned alarm system, or the installation of provider-owned communication modules into existing AES 5100 and 6100 systems. These systems must facilitate 24/7 monitoring through an automatic telephone dialer, wired connection, or radio transmission to a central location. The service provider is further required to provide a 24/7 dedicated response, such as a local guard mobile patrol or a commercial security response company, which is not required to be armed with firearms.

The contractor is responsible for housekeeping and restoration, including patching, repairing, and repainting all surfaces affected by the work to match existing finishes. All penetrations must be sealed to maintain the security envelope, and the contractor must remove all obsolete equipment, unused cabling, and daily debris from the site. This requirement, also referenced as RFQ# 19MA1026Q0006, is classified under NAICS 561612 for Security Guards and Patrol Services and PSC K063 for MODIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT- ALARM, SIGNAL, AND SECURITY DETECTION SYSTEMS.

Performance will take place in Antananarivo, Madagascar, with all responses due by April 17, 2026. The point of contact for this solicitation is Ruth Rajaona. Available project documentation includes two updated RFQ attachments in .docx format, with the most recent version posted on April 2, 2026. A final walkthrough with embassy security and facilities staff is required to verify the proper operation of the installation and the satisfactory restoration of work areas.
