NCIS Consolidated Cameras

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), operating under the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, is soliciting quotes for mirrorless camera kits and related photographic equipment and accessories to support its Office of Forensic Support (OFS), TSFO Technical Investigators, and Cyber Directorate. The procurement requires brand-name Nikon Z6 II mirrorless camera systems with specified lenses, batteries, flashes, tripods, and accessories, with several items designated as "Brand Name OR Equal" to allow for comparable alternatives. Key contract requirements include compliance with FAR 12 and FAR 13 Open Market procedures, submission of complete company information including CAGE Code and UEI number, and adherence to firm fixed-price arrangements. The government will evaluate proposals using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with NCIS reserving the right to award no contract if offer quality is insufficient. The solicitation response deadline is February 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, providing respondents with a six-day window from the February 20, 2026 posting date to submit their quotes via email to the identified contracting officers.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small business concerns, with the applicable NAICS code 423410 (Photographic Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) carrying a small business size standard of 200 employees. The justification and approval document identifies Nikon Inc. and Manfrotto (a Videndum plc brand) as the specified sources, with the procurement conducted as a single-source, brand-name purchase under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to NCIS's agency-wide standardization requirements and interoperability needs. The requirement encompasses 27 Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera bodies, 27 Nikkor Z 24-200mm lenses, 9 Nikkor Z MC 180-600mm lenses, and numerous supporting accessories and equipment, though the total contract value remains redacted. Delivery must be completed within 60 calendar days from the date of award to the NCIS facility located at 27130 Telegraph Road, Quantico, Virginia 22134. The standardization rationale centers on ensuring compatibility across all photographic equipment, maintaining uniform agent training on Nikon systems, and supporting workforce mobility as personnel rotate duty stations every three years.
