Bid 2025-23 Cessna Mission Console

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office is seeking bids for Bid 2025-23, a comprehensive procurement and installation project for a mission console system for a 2009 Cessna T206H aircraft. The bid requires a vendor to provide and install specific equipment, including a Vivisun Mission Console Switch, Electrical DER, Midcontinent Voltage Converter, and Garmin GMA 345 Audio System, along with installation of sheriff's office-provided components such as a ShotOver ARS-750 System, Southeastern Aerospace Mission Console, monitors, DVR, modem, mission seat, radio, and video splitters. The solicitation mandates that vendors complete all tasks including aircraft opening/closing, equipment removal, configuration testing, engineering integration, and updating aircraft documentation. The bid is due on January 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, with potential contract renewals for up to 4 additional 12-month periods, not exceeding 60 months total. Evaluation criteria include submission of a valid dealer's license, comprehensive descriptive literature, technical data supporting proposed equipment, and compliance with specifications.

The bid initially included a geographical restriction requiring vendors to be within 100 miles of the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, but Addendum #1 removed this limitation, effectively expanding vendor eligibility. Preference will be given to Louisiana-produced materials, and all products must be new, current models with manufacturer's standard warranty. The solicitation does not specify a specific budget or funding source, but requires vendors to provide all labor, parts, installation, engineering, and integration costs. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bid emphasizes compliance with state procurement regulations. The sheriff's office reserves the right to reject any bids that do not meet specifications or are deemed unsuitable. Existing infrastructure includes a 2009 Cessna T206H aircraft and various mission-critical components that will require precise integration with the new mission console system.
