Paramaribo/Suriname Ministry of Justice and Police Body-Worn Cameras

The U.S. Embassy Paramaribo, under the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, is seeking a U.S. vendor for a firm-fixed-price, single-award purchase order to implement a body-worn camera (BWC) pilot for the Korps Politie Suriname (KPS) and the Suriname Ministry of Justice and Security. The project requires the procurement and delivery of at least 25 operational BWCs plus 10% spares, and the installation of an on-premises digital evidence management system (DEMS) located entirely within Suriname. The contractor is responsible for the full lifecycle of the pilot, including cargo shipment to Paramaribo, customs brokerage, installation, configuration, and the delivery of role-based and train-the-trainer instruction in English and Dutch. The total contract value is capped at $250,000. Key technical requirements include hardware that meets MIL-STD-810H durability and IP67 environmental ratings, with Full HD resolution and a 140-degree field of view. The software must align with the FBI CJIS Security Policy. Performance timelines dictate that equipment must be delivered within 30 calendar days of award, with installation, testing, and government acceptance completed within 120 days. The contractor must provide 12 months of support and reporting, and a minimum 24-month warranty on all equipment. Award will be based on a best-value trade-off process, prioritizing the deployment approach and technical conformance over price, with significant weight given to the vendor's experience in law enforcement technology deployments outside the United States.
