About the company
Red Digital Cinema, Inc., a foreign-owned subsidiary of Nikon Americas Inc. headquartered in Lake Forest, California, supplies high-end digital cinema cameras and complementary optical equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no subcontract presence in its federal footprint.
Red Digital Cinema manufactures and distributes RED Digital Cinema V-RAPTOR series 8K cinema cameras and associated Nikon NIKKOR Z-mount camera lenses. The vendor competes exclusively as a prime on individual purchase orders; it holds no IDIQs, GWACs, or parent contract vehicles, and all six recent awards are full-and-open acquisitions with no set-aside designation, despite one award explicitly noting the vendor's foreign-owned status while a small business set-aside was applied to the solicitation.
NASA dominates the customer set, accounting for five of six awards and roughly $1.14 million of the $1.2 million combined potential value. NASA's Shared Services Center issued four awards totaling $254 thousand across RED camera bodies and NIKKOR lens procurements (RED V-RAPTOR X and V-RAPTOR XL systems with Z-mount lenses valued at $131,138 in July 2026; Nikon camera lenses valued at $78,851 in August 2026; RED Digital Cinema PRO equipment valued at $44,103 in September 2026; and RED V-RAPTOR 8K cameras valued at $48,000 in October 2022). NASA's prime contracting office awarded a separate purchase order for 28 RED V-RAPTOR X Z-Mount cameras valued at $839,860 in July 2026 for high-speed digital imaging at Kennedy Space Center supporting Artemis III and Artemis IV launch operations. The Air Force placed one full-and-open purchase order for V-RAPTOR cameras valued at $31,495 in August 2024.
Activity shows recent concentration: one award in 2022, one in 2024, then four awards in 2026 (the most recent dated September 7, 2026). All six awards have reached ultimate completion or are scheduled for completion by October 2026, leaving no active recompete exposure beyond those dates in the visible source data. Red Digital Cinema operates as a vendor of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) cinema camera systems and lenses rather than a service contractor or system integrator; all procurements reflect equipment purchase on firm fixed-price terms with performance in California or Florida. The vendor's parent, Nikon Americas Inc., holds federal prime contracting authority, but Red Digital Cinema's federal footprint remains independent and hardware-focused.
