The Louisiana Office of State Procurement is seeking an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the procurement of five light towers for the Department of Corrections-DCI (DOC-DCI), with solicitation number 3000024684. The procurement targets the Taylor TMLT1920 model or equivalent light towers, which must feature six LED heads with 1920W output, a minimum 27-foot mast height, 50 MPH wind rating, fully retractable stabilizers, and a Kubota Tier 4 engine. The light towers must have a 71-hour run time and include a standard 1-year limited warranty. Delivery will be conducted Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm to the Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, LA, with vendor representatives subject to mandatory vehicle, personal, and background checks. The bid opening is scheduled for May 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, and will be conducted online through the LaGov vendor portal, with a Zoom link provided for bid opening viewing. The state will select the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting specifications, reserving the right to reject individual line items.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors registered in the LaGov system, with potential preferences for Louisiana businesses and U.S. manufactured products. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, bidders must comply with various state and federal requirements, including civil rights laws, ADA accessibility standards, and anti-discrimination provisions. Vendors must submit a W-9 form if newly registered and certify no federal suspension or debarment. The procurement requires compliance with Louisiana state laws regarding vendor registration and E-Verify provisions. Though a specific budget range is not detailed, the solicitation suggests a standard state correctional facility equipment procurement process. Vendor representatives will be subject to comprehensive security protocols typical of correctional facility procurements, including thorough background checks and potential personal searches. Freight is included in the proposal, with offloading to be performed by the receiving facility.
