Security that survives a contracting-officer audit.
Tec-Tel designs, installs, and runs cameras, access control, and AI analytics for federal, state, and municipal agencies. NDAA 889-compliant and CJIS-aligned, procured through GSA and state contract vehicles.
- NDAA-compliant
- Platform-agnostic
- 1,000+ deployments over 15 years
§01 What we install in government
Security your contracting officer can sign off on.
What an agency gets once Tec-Tel commissions the system, and what your contracting officer, physical security team, and IT lead see from day one.
§ How we work
When an RFP requires Section 889 documentation as part of the BOM, we provide it before you ask. NDAA attestation, FISMA controls, and CJIS evidence are built into the package, not bolted on after award.
How Tec-Tel works in government
§02 How a Tec-Tel deployment works
Five steps, one accountable team.
Walk every facility before we quote
No quote-by-floorplan. We come on site, talk to your physical security and contracting officer, and document scope eligibility and any federal pass-through funding implications.
Lock in NDAA 889 from day one
Every camera, every switch, every patch panel verified against the FCC Covered List. Documented BOM with serial numbers before any purchase order.
Standardize across agency or system
One or two camera platforms. One access platform. Five buildings under one agency get one VMS, not five.
Tune analytics for public-sector contexts
Public-sector traffic patterns differ from commercial. We tune on site before alerts route to security, until the false-positive rate is low enough to trust.
Hand off with a runbook + audit packet
Your team gets a written ops doc and a contract-officer-ready documentation package. NDAA attestation, FISMA controls, CJIS evidence all in one binder.
§03 How we deploy
Three agency types. Three tailored builds.
A federal agency, a state or municipal building, and a federally-funded pass-through project each run a different procurement and compliance track. Here's how the three break down.
Federal agency building, headquartered or regional
- → NDAA Section 889-compliant cameras + switches throughout
- → CJIS-aligned access where applicable
- → Camera coverage of public-access + restricted-area boundaries
- → Documented BOM submitted with each procurement draw
State capital, courthouse, county admin, municipal services
- → Visitor-check against authorized databases where permitted
- → Perimeter + parking-lot LPR
- → Camera coverage of public meeting spaces (FOIA-aware retention)
- → Coordination with state procurement and IT standards
DASNY, Port Authority, MTA, HUD-funded housing, USDOT recipients
- → NDAA Section 889 mandatory (any federal pass-through dollars)
- → Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage badging audit trail
- → Documented compliance for each federal-funding draw
- → Coordination with prime contractor + sub OCIP/CCIP
§04 Compliance buyers ask us about
Frameworks we build to.
FAR 52.204-25. No Hikvision, Dahua, Hytera, Huawei, ZTE, or rebadged OEMs. NDAA-compliant manufacturers only. BOM documented with serial numbers.
Federal Information Security Modernization Act. For agency systems: documented controls, retention, access policies aligned to NIST 800-53 where applicable.
Criminal Justice Information Services. Access segmentation, audit logging, badge + PIN on controlled doors, retention per CJIS policy.
State and local procurement rules vary. We work within your standard contracting vehicle (GSA Schedule, state contract, cooperative purchasing) without forcing a sole-source justification.
Questions buyers ask us
FAQ
- Does your install satisfy NDAA Section 889?
- Yes by default. Every camera, switch, and component is verified against the FCC Covered List, with a documented BOM and serial numbers for your contracting officer. We install NDAA-compliant cameras and access control from major manufacturers that carry public 889 statements, and we will not quote Hikvision, Dahua, or Lorex on any project.
- Do you work with GSA Schedule or state contracts?
- Yes for most modern procurement vehicles. We work through GSA Schedule, state contracts, cooperative purchasing, and direct procurement depending on your agency. No sole-source justification required where a standard contract vehicle is in place.
- How does CJIS compliance work?
- CJIS Security Policy expectations: access control segmentation, audit logging, badge-plus-PIN on controlled doors, retention per your agency policy, encrypted at rest. We design and document to this bar where your agency touches CJIS data.
- How do you deploy across an agency?
- A single building moves faster than a multi-building system or campus, which we sequence building by building. We coordinate with your contracting officer on milestone draws and never disrupt public-facing service. The free consultation sets the schedule and the per-building scope.
- Can you handle pass-through federal funding (DASNY, MTA, HUD)?
- Yes. NDAA Section 889 applies to any project taking federal pass-through dollars. We provide a documented BOM with NDAA-compliance attestation for each funding draw. Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage badging audit trail included where required.
