NIGP 55009: Cameras, Red Light (see Class 655 for Other Types)

NIGP 55009 Cameras, Red Light (Item) covers surveillance and enforcement camera equipment that state and local governments procure for traffic safety, facility security, and infrastructure monitoring. Recent solicitations show a wide range of camera deployments: the City of Hayward is gathering information on red-light camera systems and automated enforcement programs; the City of Fort Myers is seeking turnkey automated traffic enforcement for school zones and red lights; the New London Board of Education is purchasing UniFi network camera equipment for school facilities; the City of Pembroke Pines is replacing end-of-life network cameras across municipal facilities; and the Macon Water Authority is procuring a specialized push camera system for infrastructure inspection. Issuing bodies span school districts, municipal governments, transit and utility authorities, and regional agencies. Work solicited ranges from brand-specific equipment procurement (UniFi cameras, Axis cameras) to comprehensive turnkey programs combining hardware, software, installation, operations, and evidence management. Equipment specifications often require new stock in manufacturer packaging with warranties and compliance certifications; many solicitations mandate authorized dealer or distributor status and proof of vendor authorization.

Geographic activity in the recent opportunities includes Connecticut, California, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with no single state dominating. The City of Fort Myers' RFP 26-020 for automated traffic enforcement (due February 23, 2026) and the City of Hayward's RFI 26-053 for a red-light camera safety program (due August 5, 2026) represent the largest-scope opportunities, both seeking full-service enforcement programs with design, installation, operations, and processing components. The New London Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement (solicitation 202614CONL, due May 20, 2026) for UniFi camera equipment at four school locations and the City of Augusta's ITB 26-150 for security camera system improvements at the regional airport (due March 25, 2026) illustrate narrower equipment-focused work. The Atlanta BeltLine's major construction project (DC2026094, due March 19, 2026, estimated $4,113,175.00) includes security camera installation as part of trail infrastructure, with a 30% DBE goal. Most municipal and school procurements include standard compliance documentation—non-collusion affidavits, equal employment opportunity certifications, vendor registration—and local preference policies where applicable.
