Soloy Universal Sensor Mount

The Washington State Patrol (WSP) is conducting a sole source procurement for a Soloy Universal Sensor Mount to be installed on two Cessna 206 aircraft equipped with Star Safire FLIR 380 HDc cameras. NorthPoint Aviation (DBA D.V. Aviation) is the sole manufacturer of the FAA-approved mount required for this camera system. The WSP anticipates awarding a 12-month sole source contract to NorthPoint Aviation on or about December 17, 2024, with a total estimated value of $52,248. The WSP is providing a 10-day period for other vendors to submit capability statements if they believe they can meet the state's requirements; however, in the absence of other qualified sources, the state intends to make the sole source award to NorthPoint Aviation as the sole provider of the Soloy Universal Sensor Mount.

The sole source justification cites the unique design and specifications of the Soloy mount as well as the lack of alternative sources for this required equipment. There are no small, diverse, or veteran-owned business options to unbundle this requirement, as Soloy Aviation Solutions is a small business and the sole provider of this specialized equipment. The contract will be for the state of Washington, specifically Thurston County, and will require the vendor to certify they are not debarred, suspended, or excluded from federal contracting.
