Houston Community College (HCC) is seeking quotes for a comprehensive HCCTV 4K Video Upgrade through its Procurement Operations Department for the Communication Department. The procurement involves a precise set of nine technical video production items, including three Panasonic AW-UE150 PTZ cameras, an AW-RP150 controller, three PTZ teleprompters, OpenGear frames, redundant power supplies, a sync pulse generator, a Carbonite Solo unit, a Carbonite control panel, and a Channel Xpression with keyboard. The project is designed to enhance video production capabilities, supporting most video formats including 4K. Quotes must be submitted via the BONFIRE platform by August 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time, with pricing remaining valid for 90 days. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five consecutive years of specialized experience in these services. The evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess purchase price, vendor reputation, quality of goods/services, and compliance with historically underutilized business requirements, with HCC reserving the right to award by line item or in aggregate.

The procurement is subject to HCC's Small Business Development Program (SBDP) for contracts exceeding $50,000, which encourages participation from certified small businesses. Vendors must provide specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, automobile liability, and worker compensation. The contract is anticipated as a one-time purchase with work performed through individual purchase orders, with all items to be quoted F.O.B. Destination and full freight allowed. No additional service call or trip fees will be permitted. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a potentially significant investment in advanced video production infrastructure. The procurement emphasizes not just pricing, but also vendor capability, technological compatibility, and support for historically underutilized business enterprises, reflecting HCC's commitment to both technological advancement and inclusive procurement practices.
