Dorm Camera Replacement

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is seeking to procure a comprehensive security camera replacement system for three dormitory buildings (1184B, 1184C, and 1184D) at Port Hueneme, California, supporting the 346 Training Squadron. The project involves installing a stand-alone security monitoring system with 75 new cameras (68 indoor dome cameras and 7 outdoor cameras), three 4K 55-inch LED monitors, two Network Video Recorders (NVRs), one workstation, and associated networking infrastructure. The current system has multiple inoperative cameras with poor image clarity, necessitating a full replacement to improve safety and security during off-duty hours. Potential contractors must be classified under NAICS Code 561621 (Security Systems Services) and submit completed Request for Information (RFI) forms via email to shannon.mansfield@us.af.mil by June 10, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. CDT. The government is conducting voluntary market research to identify capable small businesses, with a preference for socio-economic concerns such as HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, or women-owned small businesses.

The contract opportunity is set aside for total small business participation, with a focus on specialized security systems providers. The proposed system includes technical specifications requiring 4-megapixel cameras with Power over Ethernet capabilities, supporting color/monochrome recording, multiple video compression standards, and providing 24/7/365 recording with 30-day video storage. Installation will be performed during standard work hours, with potential flexibility for weekend or holiday work, and the entire system will be installed in Building 1184C, Room 105. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive system includes 1500 ft of CAT6e plenum cable, three Smart Managed Power over Ethernet + Switches, and enterprise camera connection licenses. The project emphasizes system independence from the Air Force network, with strict requirements for maintaining site cleanliness, protecting government property, and ensuring no transmission of classified or sensitive data. Contractors will be expected to provide training and instructions for system usage, backup procedures, and camera operation upon project completion.
