ELSAG North America launched its Automatic License Plate Reader, the Mobile Plate Hunter-900® (MPH-900®), and sixteen years later has deployed over 21,000 cameras at over 4,500 agencies in 30 countries with a primary focus on North America. In 2007, Remington Arms sold their interest in the license plate reading business to Leonardo making ELSAG North America a fully owned subsidiary. On January 1, 2014, through reorganization by Leonardo, ELSAG North America joined Selex System Integrators, and Selex Communications to form the U.S. based international subsidiary of Leonardo, Selex ES, Inc."* > *"Today, the ELSAG® LPR product portfolio is designed, manufactured, installed and supported from the U.S. by Selex ES Inc. from their facilities in Greensboro, NC and Brewster, NY. As a fully owned subsidiary of Leonardo, one of the world's leading industrial conglomerates …"* ## Notes - **Tier: 2** — Selex ES Inc. (the Leonardo US subsidiary that subsequently consolidated into Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, LLC) is the vendor of record on the underlying competitive procurement; the RFP response is the vendor's authoritative self-description submitted to a public lead agency (Region 14 ESC) and held on the cooperative's public contract document portal. As a vendor's own bid response, it is contemporaneous and primary as to (a) vendor corporate identity and history, (b) contract structure (term, renewal, funding-out clause), and (c) the cooperative's procedural rules. It is secondary as to whether Region 14 ESC's competitive procurement was conducted in a fair / arms-length manner — that would require the lead agency's evaluation records. - **Naming correction this archive supplies.** The 2026-06-05 ASP-batch-1 ingest (`log.md`, 2026-06-05 phase-4 entry) labeled the cooperative as "**TIPS / Region 14 ESC**" because the prior wiki maintainer assumed a Texas-Region-14-administered cooperative was TIPS. The Tier-2 record establishes the cooperative is **NCPA (National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance)**, not TIPS — they are two distinct cooperatives. TIPS is administered by **Region 8 ESC** (Mt. Pleasant, TX). NCPA is administered by **Region 14 ESC** (Abilene, TX) and is now part of the OMNIA Partners umbrella. Contract #05-68 is an NCPA contract; the original *TIPS Cooperative Purchasing Network* page (now deleted) has been superseded by [[NCPA Cooperative Purchasing (Region 14 ESC)]] this cycle to reflect the correction. - **Wayback failure.** Save Page Now did not return a snapshot on 2026-06-05.
