RFI for Weapon Detection Software

The State of Michigan is seeking information from vendors regarding advanced weapon detection software solutions. The desired system should demonstrate high accuracy, with leading technologies capable of identifying weapons, such as handguns, rifles, shotguns, and knives, at accuracy rates between 95–99% for clearly visible threats. Reducing false alarms and providing visible confidence levels for each alarm is essential. The software must offer reliable long-range detection, with performance dependent on camera resolution, and must operate with low latency to ensure that threats are identified almost instantaneously without compromising high frame rates.

The solution should be robust enough to maintain effectiveness in various environments, handling low-light situations, shadows, adverse weather conditions, and visually cluttered areas such as busy campus settings. Integration with existing infrastructure is critical; the software must be compatible with standard IP cameras from multiple manufacturers and be able to interface with Genetec video management systems. Multi-camera support, allowing monitoring and analysis across a network of cameras, is required.

Interested vendors are invited to submit their questions by November 26, 2025. The planned contract duration is one year.
