AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District, is proceeding with a sole-source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to secure essential support services for six existing EarthCam, Inc. brand construction cameras used for monitoring navigation activities. The contract requires the vendor to provide unlimited cellular data service, comprehensive robotic camera software support including technical maintenance and software upgrades, and Time-Lapse Service Platinum archiving at one image every five minutes. This acquisition is restricted to EarthCam, Inc. because the cameras, proprietary software, hardware maintenance, and archival services are exclusively designed and controlled by the original manufacturer, making any alternative vendor incapable of providing compatible support without voiding warranties or compromising system functionality. The decision to sole source is formally justified under FAR 12.102(a) based on the determination that only one source is reasonably available, and the anticipated cost is deemed fair and reasonable by the Contracting Officer. This procurement is issued as a Notice of Intent, not a formal solicitation, and no competitive quotes or offers will be accepted in response to this notice. Interested parties may submit statements of capability and interest by 12:00 PM Pacific Time on June 18, 2026, to the designated point of contact, Londres Medranda, at londres.medranda@usace.army.mil, but any such submissions must clearly demonstrate compelling evidence that competition would benefit the government, which is highly unlikely given the proprietary nature of the equipment. The NAICS code for this action is 561990, and the place of performance is Seattle, Washington. All services must be delivered to support the existing fleet of EarthCam units without disruption, and the procurement remains subject to the discretion of the government to proceed without competition based on the documented justification. No award will be made based on responses to this notice, and no formal contract documents are available at this time.
