2 Utilize the Federal General Services Administration (GSA) Schedules as Cooperative Agreements to Procure from EyeP Solutions, Inc.
Genetec software license subscriptions, products and related maintenance and subscription renewals can be procured only through Genetec’s third party resellers.

2. Genetec Proximity Cardkeys and Tags
Stadium Manager has a need to replenish Genetec proximity cardkeys and Microprox tags.
3 On June 21, 2022, the SCSA Board approved Stadium Manager’s recommendation to procure the Genetec proximity cardkeys, Microprox HID tags and related supplies from Johnson Controls, Inc. Fire and Security (JCI). JCI was the main integrator of our Genetec security system when the Stadium was built. JCI owned the rights to our card’s format and issue level including becoming the main distributor for ordering HID products.
When Stadium Manager issued the Purchase Order, JCI took exception to our terms and conditions and insisted that the order be filled on their terms. Stadium Manager contacted Genetec and requested assistance. Genetec recommended using the Corporate 1000 format and cease using the proprietary format with JCI. This was made possible by procuring the standard proximity cards and Microprox tags and formatting for our use by a Genetec authorized dealer.
Therefore, the SCSA Board approval on June 21, 2022 to issue a Purchase Order to Johnson Controls, Inc. Fire & Security in the amount of $7,845.15 will not be exercised by Stadium Manager.
Stadium Manager requested a quotation from EyeP Solutions, Inc., for the regular Genetec proximity cardkeys and Microprox tags with the additional Corporate 1000 format so that those cards can be used at the Stadium. Stadium Manager has a need to procure 1000 Genetec proximity cardkeys and 200 Microprox tags with no biometric data stored. The quotation provided included pricing of the cardkeys and tags plus the cost of formatting them for Stadium Manager use.
Therefore, approval is sought to issue a Purchase Order to procure the Genetec proximity cardkeys and Microprox tags from EyeP Solutions, Inc., in the amount of $6,930.87 inclusive of all shipping and applicable sales tax.
The cost for this purchase is covered in the FY22/23 SCSA Budget, Security Department, as a shared expense.
