About this file

This Addendum No. 1 is issued by the Office of State Procurement for the State of Louisiana, specifically related to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Night Vision Goggles for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF), with solicitation number 3000024578. The bid is scheduled to open on 04/30/2025 at 10:00 AM CT, and the addendum clarifies several technical specifications for the night vision goggles, including phosphor color (green or white is acceptable), minimum Figure of Merit (FOM) of 1600, maximum Signal to Noise Ratio of 23, and a required 51-degree Field of View. The addendum addresses specific vendor questions about equipment requirements, confirming that a hard carrying case is mandatory, while a soft carrying case is not required.

The addendum provides critical bidding details, allowing vendors to specify their proposed phosphor color, FOM, and Signal to Noise Ratio on their bid submissions. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum, either confirming no changes to their original bid or submitting revisions prior to the bid opening. The document emphasizes that the state reserves the right to request additional documentation and that failure to execute an acknowledgement does not relieve bidders from complying with bid terms. Submissions can be made by mail, hand delivery, or fax to the Office of State Procurement in Baton Rouge, with electronic transmissions other than fax not being accepted at this time.
