An integral purpose of this Sources Sought announcement is to identify and understand what broadcast camera robotics systems meeting the requirements of the Senate are available in the market. There may be more than one product or component required to provide the full functionalities, capabilities, and the features of the broadcast camera robotics system required by the Senate. Those products will need to integrate to meet the Senate requirements. a. Description of Vendor’s broadcast camera robotics system for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus and robotic control system that meet the Senate requirements, including the major component products; b. If the solution is dependent upon more than one product or component, description of how the different products or components integrate. 2. The functionalities, features, or capabilities under consideration include but are not limited to the items listed on ATTACHMENT A – FUNCTIONALITIES, CAPABILITIES, FEATURES MATRIX. Vendors must provide the information on each functionality, feature or capability on the Matrix for the broadcast camera robotics system and robotic control system proposed. Vendors must identify the functionalities, capabilities, or features which their robotics and control systems cannot provide or meet and state why. INSTRUCTIONS: Vendors responding to this SSN must submit an information package as follows: 1. Concise, brief and direct response to section ‘1.’ under REQUIREMENTS above; 2. Completed ATTACHMENT A – FUNCTIONALITIES, CAPABILITIES, FEATURES MATRIX as instructed on the matrix in response to section ‘2.’ under REQUIREMENTS above; 3. A list of current customers of Vendor’s proposed broadcast camera robotics and control systems with contact information (company name, department or division and address, person’s contact name, phone number and email address); 4. Company product literature or brochure providing additional information on Vendor’s proposed broadcast camera robotics system and robotic control system, including component products and services with descriptions and prices; 5. Business information including company name and address; Dun and Bradstreet number; and point of contact name with telephone and e-mail address; and 6. The response shall not exceed fifteen (15) pages excluding ‘2. Completed ATTACHMENT A,’ and ‘4. Company product literature or brochure.’ Unnecessarily elaborate submissions are discouraged.
