NIGP 22061: Sound Analysis Equipment and Accessories: Noise Meters and Dosimeters, Sound Level Meters, etc. (Including Noise Control Enclosures, etc)

NIGP 22061 Sound Analysis Equipment And Accessories: Noise Meters And Dosimeters, Sound Level Meters, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure audio and acoustic equipment for event venues, transportation facilities, and infrastructure management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing sound systems on a rental and operational basis for large public events, as well as noise abatement barrier components for transportation corridors. The California Exposition & State Fair has driven the most visible recent activity under this code, soliciting multiple rounds of bids for grounds entertainment audio systems and livestock event sound equipment across multi-year contract terms. The mix of issuing bodies reflects state-level entities and special-purpose districts managing facilities or infrastructure, rather than municipalities or school districts; the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration and the Utah Transit Authority also appear in the recent pipeline, though procurement under this code remains moderately dispersed.

Recent opportunities cluster in California and Maryland. The California Exposition & State Fair posted two separate IFBs in late September 2026 for entertainment audio and lighting (due October 14, 2026) and for sound system rental supporting livestock events and exhibits across the 2027–2029 State Fairs (also due October 14, 2026), both with a Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preference program in place. The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration issued an IFB in June 2026 for replacement of noise abatement barrier doors and frames at various locations in Baltimore and Harford Counties (due June 30, 2026), with Addendum 1 revising door size specifications on June 16, 2026. These opportunities reflect both event-driven rental contracts and infrastructure maintenance work; scope generally favors established vendors with multi-year equipment inventory and on-site technical staffing capacity.
