Solicitation #: FA442726Q1131 Buyer: 60th Contracting Squadron, Travis Air Force Base, CA In plain words: The Air Force wants a company to rip out 413 old, non-compliant security cameras across 18 dorm buildings and put in a brand new camera system. The Basics - Contract type: Firm Fixed Price - Set-aside: Small business only (no large primes) - NAICS: 334290 | PSC: 6350 - Quote due: September 3, 2026, 12:30 PM PT - Site visit: August 20, 2026, 10:00 AM PT (you must request base passes ahead of time) - Questions (RFI) due: August 25, 2026, 12:00 PM PT - Timeline: 120 days from Notice to Proceed — but that's just for the two funded buildings, not all 18 What's Actually Being Bought - Remove 413 old cameras across 18 buildings - Install 213 new interior cameras and 57 new exterior cameras - Run all new CAT6A cabling - Set up 3 viewing stations with 55-inch 4K monitors (in three different buildings) - 5-year warranty on all equipment - Full staff training when the job's done - Ongoing repair support after the warranty runs out How the Pricing Works Only two buildings (1331 and 1332) are funded right now — that's the "base" part of the contract. Every other building is its own separate option the government may or may not use later, depending on funding. So really, you're bidding to win the base work and stay in line for 16 more building-by-building awards down the road. Who Can Win This - Small business set-aside - Past performance only needs to come from the last 5 years (they loosened this after a vendor asked) - You'll need to show your gear is NDAA/TAA compliant, and confirm nothing is stored in the cloud Good-to-Know Details Buried in the Q&A - No cloud storage allowed — everything stays on base - Not locked into one camera brand (an earlier draft leaned toward one specific brand, that got fixed after a vendor flagged it) - The "environmental sensors" requirement got dropped completely - Only Cisco switches are allowed, and the base's own IT team installs and configures them — not the contractor - Cameras don't need to be vandal-proof rated
