NIGP 25720: Aviation Equipment, Defense and Homeland Security

NIGP 25720 Aviation Equipment, Defense And Homeland Security is an Item code under which state and local governments procure security systems, detection equipment, firearms, maintenance services, and infrastructure upgrades for detention facilities, law enforcement operations, and airport security. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of facility-hardening work—sprinkler replacement, secure door and lock systems, access control and video management—alongside specialized security equipment such as full-body scanner systems for contraband detection and used-firearms trade or swap transactions. Issuing bodies include county detention facilities (Collin County, Texas; Orange County, Florida), city police departments (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), and airport authorities (Pinellas County, Florida; City of Atlanta Department of Aviation; City of Lubbock). State procurement offices also solicit under this code: the Texas Department of Information Resources issued a multi-year statewide security operations center solicitation through its Shared Technology Services program. The work spans detention-facility security upgrades, law-enforcement equipment procurement through cooperative purchasing frameworks (Sourcewell), and airport-compliance infrastructure and system maintenance.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Collin County's October 2026 IFB for sprinkler-head replacement in jail clusters, with an estimated cost of $150,000 and bids due November 19, 2026; Collin County's September 2026 RFP for a full-body scanner system for detention admissions with an estimated first-year cost of $242,000 and proposals due September 17, 2026; Orange County, Florida's June 2026 IFB for corrections-facility security-control systems and secure-door replacement at an estimated cost of $7 million with bids due July 21, 2026; and Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's September 2026 bid for used-firearms trade or swap toward Heckler & Koch rifles, with bids due October 14, 2026. The State of Texas DIR issued a security operations center procurement in April 2026 targeting four-year contract terms with anticipated award in February 2027. Pinellas County, Florida solicited annual maintenance for access-control and video-management systems at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport in April 2026 at approximately $105,000 annually. Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, solicited law-enforcement equipment through an RFP due June 16, 2026.
