OCAS_RFI_360Camera

The General Services Administration's Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) is conducting market research through a pre-solicitation RFI/Sources Sought for commercially available handheld 360-degree cameras that capture construction-progress documentation for federal facilities, with responses due December 8, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST. The opportunity uses no set-aside, and the notice states it is not a solicitation, does not commit the Government to issue an RFQ, and does not commit to an award. Captured media is handled as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and ingested into a FedRAMP-authorized system by removable media or a Government-controlled encrypted connection. The Government will consider an offline configuration using removable media and a managed connected configuration transmitting over a Government-controlled encrypted link to that system. Required capabilities include FIPS 140-3 validated encryption at rest and in transit, zero cloud dependency, operation independent of consumer mobile applications, cryptographically signed firmware deployable offline, tamper-evident sealing support, and removal or permanent disabling of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, and NFC hardware for the offline configuration. Spherical video must be delivered as equirectangular MP4 with metadata, and still imagery as JPG, without proprietary desktop software. Compliance requirements include FY2019 NDAA Section 889(a)(1)(A)/(B), Trade Agreements Act compliance with SKU-level country-of-origin documentation, and checks against FCC Covered Lists, Department of Commerce Entity Lists, SAM exclusions, and FASCSA exclusion orders. The Government acknowledges few products may meet every requirement today and encourages responses where a current product meets some requirements or a government variant can be offered. Respondents submit a capability statement of no more than five pages in Word or PDF, plus a compliance matrix, FCC IDs, CMVP certificate numbers, Declarations of Conformity, country-of-origin documentation, Section 889 representations, and government variant information. The notice is classified under NAICS 334310 and PSC 5836. Inquiries go to Contract Specialist Daniel Ortiz at daniel.ortiz@gsa.gov.
