How to bid on Visitor Control Center (VCC) Cameras at Travis AFB for the DEPT of Defense
What the agency is buying and why a vendor would care
The Department of Defense needs a contractor to provide and install an IP-based CCTV system at the Visitor Control Center (Building 615) at Travis Air Force Base, California. This system will include six Bosch cameras: four exterior Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras and two interior ceiling-mounted cameras. The project also requires full system configuration, testing, documentation, and training for up to 10 government personnel.
This is a request for information (RFI) for a noncompetitive, sole-source acquisition. The government intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Advantor Systems II LLC. However, other authorized Advantor providers and installers are invited to submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements and integrate with the existing Advantor security system.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on August 04, 2026. The deadline for responses is August 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET. At this deadline, the government will review all submitted capability statements.
The government anticipates awarding a purchase order around September 1, 2026. Installation of the CCTV system is required within 210 days after the award date.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for firms that are authorized providers and installers of Advantor Systems. The new CCTV system must seamlessly integrate with the existing Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS), which is proprietary to Advantor Systems II LLC.
Vendors in the security and surveillance system installation category, particularly those with experience in government or military base security systems and proprietary integrations, are best suited for this RFI.

Submit a capability statement demonstrating your ability to provide the required CCTV system and fully integrate it with the proprietary Advantor System. This is a pre-solicitation notice, not a request for quotation or proposal, but your capability statement will be considered by the agency.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI for a sole-source procurement, a strong capability statement is crucial. Clearly articulate your firm's experience with similar IP-based CCTV system installations, especially those involving integration with existing proprietary security systems.
Emphasize your status as an authorized Advantor provider and installer. Provide specific examples of past projects where you successfully integrated security components with Advantor systems. Detail your technical expertise with Bosch cameras and your ability to meet the installation timeline of 210 days after award. Include information on your capacity for documentation and training.
