On-Board Video Surveillance System Services | DoDEA

Executive Summary

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) is procuring On-Board Video Surveillance System (OBVSS) services for school transportation vehicles in Okinawa, Japan. This contract involves maintenance, repair, and installation services for video surveillance systems.

Scope & Requirements

In order to ensure the safe transport of DoDEA students, DoDEA requires the On-board Vehicle Surveillance System (OBVSS), a digital vehicle video camera system with audio capability designed to record on board images and sound. Data captured by the OBVSS would be transferred from the vehicle to a Student Transportation Office (STO) for review (of picture and sound) on a government computer or laptop. DoDEA requires that each student transportation vehicle be equipped with cameras with synchronized audio capability for monitoring passenger behavior on the vehicle and monitoring the loading and unloading of passengers. Periodically, buses/vehicles are retired and/or replaced at various locations in Okinawa, Japan.
