A 5% U.S. manufacturing price preference applies under R.S. 39:1604.7 to products with manufacturing, final assembly, processing, or packaging occurring within the United States or its territories; bidders must submit a signed preference claim prior to bid opening.

The scope comprises eight FAA L-864 medium-intensity flashing red LED aviation obstruction lights and eight corresponding power supply units. Lights must operate on 24VDC with 2,000-candela luminous intensity, internal flasher electronics, and GPS sync capability, specified as equivalents to the Pharos Marine Automatic Power FA250LR-L-864/6.

All products must be new, current model, and carry the manufacturer's standard warranty. Bidders must specify manufacturer and model numbers for all products; failure to do so may result in bid rejection. Unit prices must include F.O.B. destination delivery and be quoted to two decimal places. The state reserves the right to award items separately or grouped and may reject all-or-none quotations.

Deliveries are scheduled for Monday through Thursday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the DOTD facility in Baton Rouge with 24 hours' advance notice. Products are subject to laboratory testing before final acceptance; the low bidder may be required to provide samples at their own expense within 10–30 days.
