FY26 Sentinel 8 Project

The City of Memphis, through its Memphis Police Department, is soliciting proposals for the FY26 Sentinel 8 Project to procure a turnkey video surveillance solution to be installed on city utility poles. The objective is to enhance public safety by expanding video coverage, improving physical security, and strengthening cybersecurity across public spaces. Vendors must furnish, install, and configure all required equipment, delivering fully assembled units excluding the Fusus Core, which will be provided by the City. The solution must integrate with existing infrastructure, including power and mobile connectivity, with the City supplying an active SIM card if needed. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM on May 27, 2026, under RFP #357776, and must be submitted in sealed form to the City of Memphis Purchasing Agent at City Hall, 125 N. Main St., Memphis, TN 38103. The procurement is open to all qualified vendors with no set-aside specified, and the contract type is inferred to be firm-fixed-price based on the turnkey nature of the deliverables. The Memphis Police Department is responsible for inspecting and accepting all units to ensure full operational functionality upon integration with the provided Fusus Core. Vendors are not permitted to request non-disclosure agreements during proposal evaluation, and all system components must be ready for demonstration excluding the Core. While detailed packaging, marking, preservation, and quality standards are not outlined, the vendor assumes full responsibility for delivery readiness and system performance. No contract value, payment terms, accounting codes, or specified evaluation factors such as weightings or award basis are provided in the available documentation, and official designations for contracting officers or technical representatives are not explicitly named, though Cedric Hamilton and Lenita Winfrey are identified as primary points of contact. The period of performance, delivery schedule, and FOB terms remain undefined, and no military or industry standards are cited, placing emphasis on the vendor’s ability to meet the City’s functional and integration requirements as outlined in the RFP and its addenda.
