NIGP 05505: Anti-Theft and Security Devices, Automotive

NIGP 05505 Anti-Theft And Security Devices, Automotive (Item) encompasses physical security hardware and electronic monitoring systems that state and local governments acquire for correctional facilities, municipal fleets, and critical infrastructure—including full-body scanners, secure door-and-lock systems, puck lock brackets for work vehicles, and surveillance camera installations. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions procuring turnkey security solutions combining equipment supply, professional installation, configuration, training, and multi-year technical support, with vendors required to meet facility-specific standards, comply with radiation or NDAA protocols, and maintain rapid-response support capabilities. Issuing bodies span county corrections departments, county solid-waste divisions, city fleet maintenance operations, and municipal purchasing offices; Collin County, Texas has posted multiple security-infrastructure solicitations in recent months. Counties and municipalities pursue these acquisitions through a mix of sealed IFBs with mandatory pre-bid conferences, RFPs with phased evaluation, and lower-value RFQs for commodity items.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Collin County, Texas issued an IFB (2026-389) for sprinkler-head replacement in the jail's inmate cells (bids due November 19, 2026, $150,000 estimated cost) and an RFP (2026-155) for a full-body scanner system with detection capability, on-site training, and four-hour technical-support turnaround for the Adult Detention Facility admissions area (proposals due September 17, 2026, $242,000 estimated first-year cost). Orange County, Florida posted an IFB for Corrections BRC security controls and Building E secure door-and-lock replacement construction (bids due July 21, 2026, $7 million estimated cost). Broward County, Florida solicited a turnkey landfill security camera system with AXIS or equivalent cameras, solar-powered wireless configurations, and five-year warranty coverage (due May 15, 2026). The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for puck lock brackets for work vans under $45,000 (due August 5, 2026), and the City of Detroit requested RFQ quotes for inhibited ethylene glycol antifreeze in bulk and drums for fleet maintenance (due October 9, 2026, approximately 24,000 gallons annually). Prevailing wage, performance bonds, multi-layer insurance requirements (commercial general liability typically $1–$2 million), and compliance with technology standards (NDAA, FAA, FDA, FCC, state radiation protocols) are standard. Pre-bid conferences and mandatory site visits are common for higher-value projects.
