Quick Summary
The U.S. Air Force (411th Flight Test Squadron) is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for an upgrade of the security camera, controller, and recording system at Edwards AFB, California. This is a Sources Sought notice for information and cost estimation purposes only. Responses are due February 19, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project involves evaluating and modifying an existing exterior security system. Key requirements include:
- Camera Upgrades: Replace 13 exterior 270-degree corner-mounted cameras with HD (minimum 1080p) units. Cameras must be weatherproof and capable of zooming to identify individuals at 200–300+ feet.
- System Security: The system must be standalone with no external network, internet, WiFi, or Bluetooth connectivity.
- Recording & Control: Replace the controller and rack-mounted recorder. The recorder must support 90 days of storage (with an option for 180 days), include battery backup, and be expandable to 20+ cameras.
- Installation: Contractors must perform on-site evaluation and may use existing mounts and wiring if compatible.

Evaluation
Information gathered will be used to determine the size classification of potential sources and their technical capability to support the full requirement. No partial responses will be accepted.
Additional Notes
Recent clarifications (Amendment 1) specify that the Air Force requires stationary 270-degree cameras with zoom functionality for facial identification at 300+ feet, rather than traditional PTZ cameras. The controller may be software-based and does not require a physical joystick.
