NIGP 28782: Transmitters, Emergency Alarm Type (to incl. Equipment Operation Status Reporting)

NIGP 28782 Transmitters, Emergency Alarm Type (To Include Equipment Operation Status Reporting), an Item code, encompasses the procurement of equipment and services for detecting, monitoring, and responding to alarm signals across municipal and county facilities. State and local governments acquire transmitters, sensors, controllers, monitoring services, and related components to support fire detection, intrusion detection, environmental hazard monitoring, and operational status reporting at water treatment plants, police departments, county offices, and other public buildings. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city police departments, county governments, city water services departments, and counties operating shared monitoring infrastructure across multiple facilities. Recent solicitations show a mix of equipment procurement (pressure and temperature transmitters, atmospheric monitoring instruments), service agreements (24/7 alarm monitoring centers, registration and permitting administration), and maintenance contracts covering installation, repair, and system management across diverse alarm manufacturer platforms.

State and local procurement activity under this code concentrates in the Southwest, with significant recent volume from the City of Phoenix and County of Sacramento, and secondary activity in the Southeast (Broward County, Florida) and mid-Atlantic (Fairfax County, Virginia). The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued two five-year IFBs in August 2026: IFB 26-0398 for pressure and temperature instrumentation (sealed offers due August 18, 2026) and IFB 27-0435 for atmospheric monitoring instruments with hazardous-gas detection capability (sealed offers due September 4, 2026), both requiring local stocking and same-day or next-business-day parts fulfillment. The County of Sacramento solicited 24/7/365 alarm system monitoring services across 228 County-owned facilities under RFB 2026-RFB-0012 (bids due March 24, 2026), specifying UL 827 certification and compliance with fire, burglary, and environmental signal protocols. The City of Dallas issued a five-year ID/IQ service agreement for alarm monitoring, installation, maintenance, and repairs (proposals due July 17, 2026). The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department solicited alarm registration and permit administration services excluding fire and medical alarms (RFP 2026199, due November 6, 2026). Broward County issued an RFI (BLD6232026F9, due July 1, 2026) regarding maintenance for Johnson Controls fire alarm and security systems, signaling potential sole-source procurement.
