This document is a Question Log related to a Request for Information (RFI) for the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) requirement to install and monitor security cameras at the APHIS Headquarters parking lot in Riverdale, MD.

The key details are: APHIS is seeking to purchase and install 3 pole-mounted security cameras with monitoring services, not leasing. The cameras must have flood lights, be PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) or 360-degree multi-sensor, and provide a minimum 2-megapixel resolution. The government will not provide WiFi, internet access, or an existing NVR, so the contractor must provide a cloud-based monitoring platform. Power is available at each 30-foot light pole, but the contractor must provide any outlets needed. This is a small business set-aside contract with a NAICS code of 561621 and a $25M size standard. No additional camera units are planned under this solicitation.
