STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) PACS DOOR ACCESS CONTROL PROJECT / UPGRADE LENEL ONGAURD ADV to PRO Albany Stratton VA Medical Center 113 Holland Avenue, Albany, NY 12208 1. Introduction The Albany Stratton VA Medical Center (VAMC) requires enhancements to its Physical Access Control System (PACS) to improve facility security, access accountability, and compliance with VA Handbook 0730, VA Physical Security Design Manual, Federal Interagency Security Committee Risk Management Process Standards, Office of Security and Law Enforcement (OS&LE) and Joint Commission standards. 2. Background and Objective This project will install PIV-enabled access control hardware on four (4) doors and integrate all components into the existing Lenel OnGuard PACS environment to enhance controlled access, alarm monitoring, and life-safety compliance. The Albany Stratton VA Medical Center currently operates a Lenel OnGuard ADV SUSP access control license capped at 256 readers. This threshold has been reached across the medical center and CBOCs, limiting the VA s ability to expand PIV-enabled access control in compliance with Executive Order 14111 and the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Physical Security Criteria. This limitation poses a compliance risk as VA-controlled facilities are scheduled for Federal Protective Service (FPS) reinspection using the Modified Infrastructure Survey Tool (MIST). Vendor confirmation verifies that the ADV SUSP license cannot exceed 256 readers. An upgrade to Lenel OnGuard PRO is required. 3.
