Fixed-Wing, Turbine-Engine Airplanes

The California Statewide Contract 1-20-15-15 is a comprehensive Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for fixed-wing, turbine-engine airplanes primarily designed for law enforcement operations, with a specific focus on equipping the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The contract enables procurement of high-performance aircraft with extensive mission-specific equipment, including advanced avionics, multi-sensor imaging systems, digital audio panels, law enforcement radios, satellite tracking, and electronic flight bags. These specialized aircraft are engineered to meet rigorous technical specifications, such as a minimum 675 horsepower turbine engine, instrument flight rules certification, and a useful load of 3,300 pounds.

The IDV is awarded to CNC TECHNOLOGIES LLC and administered by the California Department of General Services (DGS) Statewide Procurement division, with a contract period from April 3, 2020, through March 31, 2027. The contract is available not only to California state departments but also extends to optional use by cities, counties, districts, and local governmental bodies both within and potentially outside California. Key contract features include fixed annual pricing for the first five years, a 24-month warranty on airplanes and installed equipment, pilot and maintenance training, and trade-in options with a minimum trade-in value of 85% of the published value. The minimum order is one aircraft, with the contractor permitted to add a 10% fee for parts and services purchased without an airplane.
