The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division is conducting a proprietary Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitation number 3000024707 for specialized drone equipment to be procured through the Louisiana Office of State Procurement. The specific procurement involves one DJI Matrice 30T drone, 16 TB30 Intelligent Flight Batteries, 4 WB37 Intelligent Batteries, and two CZI LP12 Searchlight and Broadcasting Systems. All equipment must be new, unused, and current model versions. The bid is scheduled for public opening on May 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with online bid responses submitted through the LaGov system. Vendors must be registered in the system and can attend the bid opening via a provided Zoom link. The state intends to award the contract on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the explicit right to reject individual line items. Evaluation criteria will focus on compliance with specified equipment models, pricing, and adherence to federal and state regulations including civil rights laws, accessibility standards, and anti-discrimination provisions. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the procurement includes several Louisiana-specific preferences that could provide advantages to local businesses. Vendors must comply with comprehensive requirements including anti-kickback provisions, clean air and water act standards, and potential price adjustments for Louisiana-produced products or US-manufactured goods. The bid allows for a potential 10% price preference for Louisiana-produced products and considerations for Louisiana workforce engagement. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The procurement appears to be a targeted equipment acquisition for the LDWF Enforcement Division, suggesting the equipment will be used for operational surveillance or monitoring purposes. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive list of drone and battery equipment indicates a significant technology investment for the state's wildlife and fisheries enforcement capabilities.
