Opportunity overview
Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation (BBAHC) has issued RFP 26-004, BBAHC Electronic Security Systems Upgrade, seeking a qualified systems integrator to modernize access-control and video-security systems supporting Kanakanak Hospital and related BBAHC facilities in rural Alaska. The solicitation identifies Genetec or equivalent as the preferred platform approach and requires a solution that can continue operating during internet outages.
Deadline and submission
Proposals are due September 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM AKT. Proposals must be submitted by email to procurement@bbahc.org. Timeliness is determined by BBAHC’s received-email timestamp. The proposal should identify the proposer, RFP number, and closing date and time. Procurement questions and vendor communications must go through BBAHC Procurement at procurement@bbahc.org or 907-842-5201; unauthorized direct contact with other staff or board members may result in disqualification.
Healthcare setting and technical scope
The project supports a 24/7/365 healthcare environment centered on Kanakanak Hospital and associated campus facilities, with remote video/security components in village locations. The published scope identifies 151 access readers, including 87 standard and 64 wireless readers, and 106 cameras, including 97 in Dillingham, 3 in Togiak, and 6 in Goodnews Bay. The selected contractor is expected to provide required software, licenses, hardware, professional services, configuration, migration, integrations, testing, training, and support. The Dillingham NVR must provide at least 160 TB raw RAID6 storage, with local NVR capability in Togiak and Goodnews Bay.
Operational requirements include coordinated cutovers with Security and Clinical Leadership at least 48 hours in advance. Access-control downtime is limited to 15 minutes per door group, and unplanned outages exceeding 60 minutes are unacceptable.
Funding, match, and contract terms
BBAHC does not publicly state a contract ceiling or guaranteed project value in the RFP. This is a procurement contract rather than a grant, so match or cost share is not applicable. The solicitation includes liquidated damages of $300 per calendar day, capped at 10% of the contract value.
Vendor qualifications and proposal requirements
Proposals must address comparable legacy-system migrations, certified technicians for the proposed systems, the technical solution, implementation schedule, detailed pricing and bill of materials, recurring licenses and maintenance, options and support, required business licensing, insurance, representations/certifications, addenda acknowledgment, and other responsibility requirements. BBAHC states that price will account for at least 40% of evaluation, with additional consideration of integrity, public-policy compliance, past performance, and financial, administrative, and technical resources.
Public Law 93-638 preference applies to qualified American Indian and Alaska Native businesses. Vendors should follow the solicitation’s preference documentation requirements where applicable.
Addenda and controlling-source caution
Only formal written addenda issued by BBAHC are binding. At the time of Atlas verification, the official BBAHC bids page did not list an addendum for RFP 26-004. The base solicitation contains an unusual timing provision indicating clarification/addenda availability through September 28, the same date as the proposal deadline, so prospective bidders should continue checking the official BBAHC bids page through submission.
Atlas fit assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 68/100. N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie direct-vendor fit: 5/100 conditional. This procurement is relevant because it supports healthcare-facility operations, but it is fundamentally a physical-security systems integration project rather than a remote-examination or clinical-technology opportunity. Dr. Miltie direct bid is on hold because available connected records do not substantiate the required physical-security integration qualifications, comparable legacy migrations, certified technicians, installation capability, or other vendor credentials needed for a responsible proposal.
