NIGP 12095: Wildlife Scare-Away Devices, Ultrasonic

NIGP 12095 Wildlife Scare-Away Devices, Ultrasonic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure law enforcement and public safety equipment, though recent solicitation activity reveals minimal concrete demand specifically for ultrasonic wildlife deterrents. The code captures equipment purchases spanning county public safety departments and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Law enforcement and public safety procurement under this taxonomy includes mobile surveillance and patrol equipment, though the recent opportunities block shows activity concentrated in broader law-enforcement-equipment bundles rather than standalone ultrasonic devices. Issuing bodies range from individual county purchasing departments, such as Chatham County, Georgia, to statewide cooperative purchasing entities like Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit that acts as a service cooperative facilitating multi-jurisdictional procurement on behalf of participating counties, school districts, tribal governments, and public entities across the United States and Canada.

Recent activity appears limited. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, structured as a cooperative purchasing vehicle encompassing Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other public entities nationally and in Canada. Chatham County, Georgia issued an IFB for the purchase of two new Mercury outboard motors for marine patrol operations (solicitation 26-0038-4) with a bid due date of May 4, 2026. The geographic spread reflects activity in Washington state and Georgia, though the Sourcewell vehicle extends to jurisdictions throughout North America. Neither solicitation explicitly identifies set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or award values in available documentation. The scarcity of postings under this Item code suggests limited standalone procurement of ultrasonic wildlife deterrents by state and local buyers; most activity appears bundled within broader law-enforcement-equipment solicitations.
