NIGP 03510: Aircraft Navigation Radio

NIGP 03510 Aircraft Navigation Radio, an Item code, covers the purchase of specialized avionics equipment and components for aircraft communication and navigation systems. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure aircraft radio systems and related accessories—including VHF/UHF transceivers, antenna arrays, and installation kits—typically for county emergency management, public safety aviation, or municipal airport operations. The sourcing activity shows county purchasing offices as the primary issuing bodies, with procurement structured around sealed-bid processes requiring new equipment in factory-sealed condition and authorized-reseller documentation.

Chatham County, Georgia posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-0066-2) in May 2026 for the purchase of one Technisonic TDFM-9100 aviation radio system with a Type A module, four specified antenna systems (Comant CI 285 UHF, Ramiller AV-924HS, Verdant JD 120 T1B-A airband, and supporting installation kit), with bids due June 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. for delivery to Chatham County Emergency Management Agency in Savannah, Georgia. The county enforced a 30 percent combined M/WBE participation goal, required bidders to be authorized resellers only with no substitutions permitted, and demanded all equipment arrive new and in original factory-sealed packaging, with freight charges included in the bid price and 60-day firm pricing. Beyond this Georgia activity, the source provides no other recent state or local opportunities under the code to characterize broader geographic spread or repeat-buyer patterns.
