# Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, LLC
The **American operating subsidiary** of the Italian defense-and-aerospace conglomerate **[[Leonardo S.p.A.]]** that supplies the **[[ELSAG ALPR Systems]]** product line in the United States market. Address: **4221 Tudor Lane, Greensboro, NC 27410-8105**. Direct phone (Craig Duncan, Sr. Field Operations Manager - Southeast): **(910) 986-0596**. Tech support: **(866) 967-4900**.
The corpus's first documented Leonardo / ELSAG procurement at any Arkansas LE agency. Vendor of record on the State of Arkansas Term Contract 4600055190 with the [[Arkansas State Police|Arkansas State Police]] for Fixed and Vehicle License Plate Recognition Systems.
## People
- **[[Craig Duncan]]** — Sr. Field Operations Manager - Southeast (`
[email protected]`, direct (910) 986-0596). The ASP-procurement primary counterparty. Confirmed receipt of PO 4502265167 from Anna Hawthorne-Pennington on 2025-02-26 (Tier-1 corpus, `1513_001.pdf`, p. 22).
## Roles in this corpus
- **The contracting vendor of record on the State of Arkansas Term Contract 4600055190.** The contract was entered through the [[NCPA Cooperative Purchasing (Region 14 ESC)|Texas Region 14 ESC (NCPA) cooperative #05-68]] — meaning Leonardo's underlying competitive procurement was run by Texas (not Arkansas), and Arkansas adopted the cooperative-contract pricing. Vendor No. in AASIS: **100257028**. Federal Tax ID is not visible on the produced documents.
- **The supplier of ELSAG ALPR Systems equipment to ASP** through reseller [[John Wright Associates, Inc.]]. The production shows Leonardo as the contracting party on the Term Contract and the larger PO (4502235324); John Wright Associates is named as the vendor on the smaller PO (4502265167) but Leonardo's Tudor Lane address is the listed shipping origin, and the Leonardo-Greensboro warehouse runs the actual pick-and-pack operations (Tier-1 corpus, `1513_001.pdf`, pp. 3-16, 32 — Leonardo Pick List headers).
- **The operator of the LPR-Greensboro logistics center** (Logistics Location 4004) that fulfills both Arkansas State Police orders. Pick lists dated 2025-03-11 (Task 146353) and 2025-03-13 (Task 146391) document the warehouse picking workflow.
- **The vendor whose product is bundled at sale with a federal [[HIDTA LPR Network]] license.** PO 4502235324 line items end with *"One Time HIDTA LPR Network License Included"* (Tier-1 corpus, `1513_001.pdf`, p. 26) — confirming Leonardo's commercial channel includes the HIDTA federal-LE-data-sharing infrastructure as a bundled offering at procurement-time.

- **F3 12VDC/trigger cable-3 Cond. 18AWG** (Part #413297) — installation power/trigger cabling.
- **Engineering Day-Field Support** (Part #210003-F), **Engineering Hour-Helpdesk** (Part #210005-H) — professional-services line items.
The product naming convention (F3, F4 generations; Street Sentry separate line; VPH Vehicle Plate Hunter separate license) indicates ELSAG's product organization: a Fixed-Camera line (F3, F4), a Street-Sentry deployable-camera line, and a Vehicle-Plate-Hunter software/license layer.
## Cooperative-purchasing channel
Leonardo / John Wright sells into the Arkansas state market via **Texas Region 14 Education Service Center Contract #05-68**, an **NCPA** (National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance) cooperative agreement administered by Region 14 ESC of Abilene, Texas. The cooperative-contract reference appears on Term Contract 4600055190 (Tier-1 corpus, `1513_001.pdf`, p. 28): *"Reference Tracking: Region 14 ESC-TX, Contract #05-68 (Cooperative Contract)."*
The NCPA cooperative is a multi-state procurement vehicle that Arkansas state agencies may ride for vendors with active NCPA contracts. The structural parallel is [[Little Rock Police Department|LRPD]]'s use of OMNIA Partners (Cobb County GA), Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint, and Texas DIR — see [[Cooperative Purchasing Vehicle]].
## Cross-references to corpus competing vendors
Leonardo is the corpus's fourth documented ALPR-platform vendor at an Arkansas LE agency, joining:
- [[Flock Safety, Inc.]] — Atlanta-based; Conway PD, Fayetteville PD (under courtship), LRPD (renewed 2025), PCSO (since 2023).
- [[Axon Enterprise, Inc.]] — Fayetteville PD's Axon Fleet 3 ALPR trial; eventually terminated.
- [[Genetec, Inc.]] — Conway PD's pre-Flock system, PCSO's pre-Flock system; both installed by [[SkyCop, Inc.]].
Leonardo's procurement structure (NCPA cooperative + reseller channel via John Wright Associates) more closely resembles LRPD's cooperative-purchasing-vehicle pattern for Motorola/Watchguard / Utility / Cellebrite buys than it resembles Flock's direct-sales model or PCSO's competitive-RFP-via-ARBid structure.
## Notes
- **Corporate identity Tier-2-anchored 2026-06-05.** The vendor's own About page (primary public record, [Leonardo About](../../web%20archive/2026-06-05/leonardocompany-us.com/leonardo-about-us.md)) confirms: HQ at Greensboro NC; subsidiary of Leonardo company; US operating locations at Greensboro NC + Brewster NY + Washington DC; ~200 US technical engineers; sister-subsidiary structure includes Leonardo Helicopters, Leonardo-DRS, and Leonardo Electronics US.
- **2024 rebrand from Selex ES Inc.** The current LLC name is the result of a 2024 corporate rebrand from "Selex ES Inc." — the vendor's own LPR About page (primary public record, [ELSAG / LPR About](../../web%20archive/2026-06-05/leonardocompany-us.com/lpr-about-us.md)) states: *"In 2024, we evolved our subsidiary's identity from Selex ES Inc. to Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions, Inc, a change that better reflects the synergy between our brand and the cutting-edge products we offer."* The Arkansas State Term Contract was executed 2024-08-06, post-rebrand. The underlying NCPA RFP 15-22 competitive procurement was submitted 03/21/2022 under the pre-rebrand "Selex ES Inc." name (primary public record, [Selex ES NCPA RFP 15-22 Response](../../web%20archive/2026-06-05/omniapartners.com/selex-es-response-ncpa-rfp-15-22.md)).
- **Entity-form note.** The vendor's LPR About page writes the rebrand result as "Inc." but the Arkansas Term Contract and the broader vendor About page consistently use "LLC." The operative form for Arkansas contracting purposes is **LLC** per the Arkansas State Term Contract. The NC Secretary of State business-registration record (SOSID, registered agent, formation date, charter status) would resolve the precise entity-form detail and charter jurisdiction; a **2026-06-06 follow-up did not retrieve it** — the `sosnc.gov` business-search portal is a form-walled lookup not deep-linkable to a standard fetch, and a targeted web search surfaced no public mirror of the entity record. The vendor's own US site independently corroborates the Greensboro, NC registered office (4221 Tudor Lane, Greensboro, NC 27410), consistent with the Tier-1 PO address. The entity-form discrepancy is vendor-marketing-copy looseness, not a substantive contracting issue. *Open lint: retrieve the `sosnc.gov` entity record to anchor the LLC's charter jurisdiction and formation date.*
- **The full corporate-lineage chain to Leonardo S.p.A.** is documented at [[Leonardo S.p.A.]] (promoted from low-confidence stub this cycle).
- The ELSAG product line was originally established 2004 as ELSAG North America (Remington Arms + Finmeccanica/Leonardo JV); fully Leonardo-owned 2007; consolidated into Selex ES Inc. in 2014; rebranded to Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions in 2024. See [[ELSAG ALPR Systems]] for the product-line documentation.
- See [[Motorola Solutions]] for the broader pattern of cooperative-purchasing procurement of vehicle-mounted public-safety camera systems in Arkansas — Motorola's Watchguard M500 (sold to LRPD via Sourcewell) is a structural analog to ELSAG's Fixed-Camera offering (sold to ASP via NCPA), though the products serve different operational niches (in-car video recording vs. fixed-roadside plate recognition).
