FY26 Warrant Officer Training School (WOTS) Dorm Cameras

The 42d Contracting Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, is conducting market research through a sources-sought synopsis for a surveillance camera system to be installed at the Warrant Officer Training School dormitory facilities in Montgomery, Alabama. The effort aims to identify vendors capable of supplying 15 new IP cameras—11 for interior use and 4 for exterior—that meet strict technical specifications including minimum resolution of 1080p or 4MP indoors and 8MP outdoors, 30 FPS frame rate, wide-angle field of view, infrared night vision, high dynamic range, IP67 and IK10 durability ratings, and Power over Ethernet compatibility with a minimum 2-hour UPS backup. The system must fully integrate with the existing Schneider Electric CAC access control system, enabling automatic video bookmarking upon CAC card swipes, centralized NTP time synchronization, and seamless video feed display on the security operator’s PACS dashboard. Continuous 90-day retention of audio and video recordings is required, with storage options available on-site or in the cloud, and AI-driven analytics such as facial recognition and anomaly detection are mandatory. All equipment must be brand-new, with no refurbished or used items allowed, and vendors must be certified Schneider Electric partners to ensure compatibility. Installation, training for security personnel, full documentation, and OEM warranty support are required deliverables, with acceptance occurring on-site at Building 1430 on Maxwell AFB. This notice is strictly for market research and does not constitute a solicitation or intent to award a contract. Responses are voluntary, non-binding, and will not be reimbursed. Respondents must submit information via email to the designated points of contact—A1C Jonathan Cheslo and William M Griffiths—by July 1, 2026, and are limited to providing basic company details, CAGE code, UEI, business size status, capability confirmation, and up to two recent contracted references. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, pricing schedules, payment details, or delivery terms exist at this stage, and oral submissions are not accepted. The government may use submitted information to shape future acquisition strategy, including potential incorporation of requirements into a subsequent solicitation, but respondents are advised against submitting proprietary or competitively sensitive data. The NAICS code for this effort is 334310, and the place of performance is fixed at Montgomery, AL. The agency is not currently considering alternative vendors outside the Schneider Electric ecosystem, effectively signaling a potential path toward
