WELLINGTON EQUIPMENT REQUEST FOLLOW-UP

UNCLAS WELLINGTON 000538 SIPDIS SENSITIVE SIPDIS DEPT FOR DS/FSE/FSB, DS/STO/OSB, DS/IP/EAP, CANBERRA FOR ESO AND BANGKOK FOR ESC E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ASEC ABLD NZ SUBJECT: WELLINGTON EQUIPMENT REQUEST FOLLOW-UP REF: A.) WELLINGTON 282 B.) WELLINGTON 283 C.) WELLINGTON 323 ¶1. (SBU) Since March 2006, a number of replacement and new equipment items have been ordered by RSO Wellington for projects at post. The replacement equipment (two 24-zone AES monitors) was requested both through the OTIS system and by email. The new equipment items were requested in Ref. A, B, C, and through the OTIS system as well as by email. To date, none of this equipment has arrived at post. ¶2. (SBU) RSO Wellington's impression of the OTIS ordering system is that the system does not work. Although we have received a confirmation of the order each time we have ordered this way, the material never appears and there has been no follow-up to tell Post about equipment shortages in the pipeline, contractual difficulties, etc. We wonder if other posts are experiencing similar difficulties with OTIS. ¶3. (SBU) We've had better feedback rates on our cable requests, but similar problems with delivery of items. We were informed that the CCTV contract was changing and that the equipment we ordered was going to be replaced with other equipment. However, three months after sending in the original ESSR, no equipment for the CCTV installations has yet arrived. A similar time frame has lapsed since the Aiphone video intercoms were ordered. ¶4. (SBU) As a follow-up, please provide the following security equipment to Wellington as soon as possible: 1 MY-2CD intercom mast stat, for the MSG booth ICM 267 2 MK-DGV surface mount sing gang vid door stat ICM 275 2 MK-DVC vandal resistant mounting box ICM 276 2 500 feet rolls of 2-conductor non-polarized parallel-conduct suitable for Intercom install WIR 150 1 PS 18E Aiphone power supply 110/220 VAC ICM 241 2 AES 24-zone alarm monitors, rack mount ALM 102 2 Panasonic Dual Mode PTZ cameras TVC 515 2 Mounting bases, CCTV, ceiling pole TVB 528 2 Rolls, coax cab, RG-59U, solid core, 500' WIR 114 ¶5.
