The way a former company I was at dealt with SecurID was to have the
physical token kept in our 24/7 Network Operations Center.  If a
vendor needed/wanted to get in they had to call the NOC, the NOC would
check their name against a list.  Assuming that was okay, the NOC
would provide the read out of the token, the vendor knew the PIN.  Not
perfect, but better than just handing out tokens to every vendor that
comes along.
