# 2024-08-06 ASP-Leonardo ELSAG Term Contract Executed The [[Arkansas Department of Public Safety]] – [[Arkansas State Police|Arkansas State Police Fiscal Section]] enters **State of Arkansas Term Contract 4600055190** with [[Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, LLC]] for Fixed and Vehicle License Plate Recognition Systems. The contract has a target value of $460,294.80 USD, an original term of August 6, 2024 through April 30, 2025 (8 months), and two annual renewal terms running through April 30, 2027. It cites the **Texas Region 14 ESC Contract #05-68 ([[NCPA Cooperative Purchasing (Region 14 ESC)|NCPA]] cooperative)** as the underlying competitive-procurement authority. ## Sources - [[Term Contract 4600055190 and PO 4502235324 — Initial Leonardo ELSAG Buy]] — the Term Contract pages (28-30) of `1513_001.pdf`. ## Significance - **The corpus's first state-LE-agency ALPR procurement contract.** ASP becomes the corpus's sixth jurisdiction with an ALPR procurement and its first state-LE-agency-tier procurement. - **The corpus's first documented Arkansas LE-agency selection of an ALPR vendor other than [[Flock Safety, Inc.|Flock]].** Leonardo / ELSAG is the corpus's fourth distinct ALPR-platform vendor (after Flock, Axon, and Genetec via SkyCop), but the first that is also a contracted Arkansas LE customer (Genetec's two corpus instances at Conway PD and PCSO were both pre-Flock systems that have been replaced). - **The corpus's first documented use of the NCPA / Region 14 ESC cooperative-purchasing vehicle**, extending the corpus's cooperative-purchasing-vehicle inventory from four (OMNIA, Sourcewell, NASPO, Texas DIR) to five. - **The Term Contract structure binds the procurement to the cooperative-host's competitive procurement.** ASP did not run its own competitive bid; it adopted Region 14 ESC's prior competitive procurement and bridged it into Arkansas state-procurement compliance via the Term Contract wrapper.
