Vivotek Camera Products

The Colorado Department of Corrections is conducting a solicitation (DQ #2025000395) for a one-time purchase of Vivotek Camera Products across multiple state facilities, specifically targeting equipment procurement without installation services. The procurement seeks 1,462 individual camera and networking products to be distributed among six locations: Delta, Rifle, Skyline, Territorial, San Carlos, Trinidad, and Denver. Required products include fixed dome cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), fisheye cameras, PTZ cameras, network switches, hard drives, and associated licenses, with a strict requirement that only Vivotek branded products will be accepted. The solicitation was posted on March 18, 2025, with quotes due by April 2, 2025 at 4:00 pm, and an anticipated award date of April 3, 2025. Evaluation criteria will primarily focus on price, with secondary considerations including sample quality, past performance, and delivery lead time. Offerors must submit comprehensive documentation including a W-9, proof of good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, and an insurance certificate demonstrating required coverage.

While no mandatory set-aside designations are explicitly required, the solicitation offers a 5% preference for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). Potential vendors must be authorized Vivotek distributors and will be subject to rigorous administrative requirements, including criminal background checks for all contractor personnel and mandatory compliance with regulations such as the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) and HIPAA. The procurement involves significant security infrastructure investment, with equipment specifications highlighting high-resolution cameras (2MP to 12MP) featuring advanced technologies like wide dynamic range, infrared capabilities, and video analytics. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing inclusive of all shipping fees, with pricing to remain firm throughout the initial purchase order term. While specific total project value is not disclosed, the extensive equipment list across six facilities suggests a substantial investment in surveillance technology for the Colorado Department of Corrections.
