How to bid on a Dual-Camera Monitoring System for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Keyport, is conducting market research for a dual-camera monitoring and positioning system. This is an RFI, or Request for Information, which means the Navy is gathering information about available solutions and vendor capabilities. They are not asking for bids or proposals at this stage.
Responding to an RFI can be valuable for businesses because it allows you to introduce your capabilities to the agency early in their planning process. This helps the Navy understand the market and can influence future solicitations. It's an opportunity to show how your firm could meet their needs.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on August 06, 2026. Responses are due by August 21, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. This is a firm deadline.
At the deadline, the Navy will stop accepting responses. They will then review the submitted industry questionnaires to inform their planning for a potential future solicitation. There will be no contract award directly from this RFI.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for businesses that can provide a dual-camera monitoring and positioning system. Firms with expertise in professional services related to imaging, surveillance, or positioning technologies would find this relevant.
The RFI is a market research notice, so it is open to any interested firm that believes it has the resources and interest in providing such a system.
How to respond
To respond, you must complete the attached "Questions for Industry" Word document questionnaire. This document will be available on the portal where the opportunity is posted.
Once completed, email the questionnaire to the Navy contact listed in the notice.
