High-Resolution EO/IR Gimbaled Camera System

The contract calls for the design and supply of a high-resolution electro-optical/infrared gimbaled camera system featuring a 3-axis stabilized gimbal that integrates both zoom and wide-angle electro-optical cameras, ensuring versatile imaging capabilities under demanding operational conditions. The system must be engineered with fail-safe operation to maintain functionality in critical scenarios and built with ruggedized environmental protection to withstand extreme weather, vibration, and other field hazards typically encountered in remote or mission-critical environments. The deliverable must meet stringent performance and durability standards suitable for deployment by federal agencies in challenging outdoor settings. This subcontract opportunity is issued by the Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture, with a NAICS code of 333314 indicating classification within the other instrument manufacturing sector. The solicitation was posted on May 6, 2026, and responses are due by June 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The place of performance and specific location details are not specified, but the system is intended for use in field operations consistent with the agency’s mission, likely involving surveillance, fire detection, or environmental monitoring. The contract structure as a subcontract suggests it may be part of a larger program or system integration effort led by a prime contractor, with the selected supplier responsible solely for the design, development, and delivery of the gimbaled camera system.
