Description
The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is conducting market research to identify commercially available artificial‑intelligence software that can automatically detect visible firearms in video feeds from its existing IP‑camera and video‑management system infrastructure. The RFI seeks vendor input on technical capabilities, integration methods, cybersecurity and privacy compliance, licensing models, support services, and non‑binding budgetary pricing. Responses will help MTA shape a future procurement (potentially an IFB or RFP) for a system that provides real‑time alerts, optional human verification, and deployment across rail, subway, bus, and other transit facilities.
• Desired software: AI‑driven detection of visible firearms, compatible with current IP cameras and VMS.
• Required functions: real‑time alerts, mobile/desktop notifications, optional human verification, software updates, technical support, and operator training.
• Integration scope: deployment across multiple transit locations (stations, buses, maintenance facilities, administrative buildings, parking).
• Evaluation focus: detection accuracy (false‑positive/negative rates), cybersecurity certifications (SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP), data ownership, privacy safeguards, and lifecycle cost.
• Submission timeline: questions due Aug 20 2026, full response due Sep 3 2026.
