Bullet Camera

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure 57 Axis Communications M2036-LEWH Network Bullet Cameras for the USGS Hydrologic Instrumentation Facility. The cameras must meet specific technical specifications including 4 MP resolution, a 2.4 mm fixed lens with 129-degree horizontal field of view, IP66/IP67 durability rating, and operational temperature range of -30 to 50 degrees Celsius, with integrated features such as POE technology, Wide Dynamic Range, digital pan/tilt/zoom, and a Deep Learning Processing Unit. All vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and comply with federal security requirements outlined in the FISMA 18-Point Checklist for IT Security Guidelines, as well as Section 508 accessibility standards. The evaluation will be based on two primary factors: technical compliance, where the vendor's product must meet or exceed all salient physical, functional, and performance characteristics, and price, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest-priced quotation receiving an "acceptable" technical compliance rating. Written quotes are due on December 12, 2025, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, with responses to be emailed to rlanderson@usgs.gov.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a NAICS code of 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) and a size standard of 750 employees. The anticipated contract award date is September 2, 2024, though this appears to be a data discrepancy given the current solicitation date of December 5, 2025. Delivery must occur within 30 days after receipt of order to Troy, New York. No specific contract value is stated in the solicitation materials, but the procurement involves a fixed quantity of 57 units of a specific commercial-off-the-shelf camera model. All responsible sources may submit a bid or quotation for consideration, and no incumbent contractor is identified in the available documentation.
