Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: 24/7 emergency response within 4 hours. Critical failures need a phone response in 1 hour and a technician on site in 4 hours at any time, wherever the company is based, which is hard for a distant firm.
- Worth checking: Small business set-aside. Only small businesses can quote; any small business category qualifies.
- Worth checking: Contractor must supply the connection materials. The base year includes installation, and the contractor pays for cabling, switches and brackets, so the price depends on how the existing equipment is laid out.

- Worth checking: Site visit on October 28, 2026; RSVP by October 23, 2026. Attendance is strongly encouraged, not required. RSVP to the contract specialist by email, three attendees per vendor, and allow 60 to 90 minutes for gate processing.
- Worth checking: Parts allowance stated two ways. The work statement gives $3,000.00 per period of performance, while the solicitation notice says $3,000.00 per year ($15,000.00 total). Ask the contracting officer which applies.
- Worth checking: Banned camera makers. Dahua and Hikvision equipment cannot be quoted or used, and all new hardware must meet supply chain security rules.
- Minor: Recorder capacity check within 10 days of award. If the Government's recorders cannot carry all the feeds, the contractor must report it in writing with a recommended fix within ten calendar days of award.
