NIGP 60085: Telegraph Equipment, Parts and Supplies

NIGP 60085 Telegraph Equipment, Parts And Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure law enforcement communications and signaling equipment. The single recent solicitation in the source—Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—frames the code as encompassing portable and fixed radio systems, dispatch infrastructure, emergency alert devices, and related accessories used by county sheriffs' offices, municipal police departments, and other public safety agencies. The issuing body, Sourcewell, is a Minnesota-based local government unit and service cooperative that structures agreements to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities across the United States and Canada.

Activity under the code centers on Pacific Northwest jurisdictions and extends nationally through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Sourcewell RFP names Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County (all in Washington state) as participating entities, with the agreement structured to benefit numerous other jurisdictions nationwide and in Canada. Vendors submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information appears in the available documentation. The resulting contract establishes a framework for law enforcement equipment procurement available to participating public entities through addenda, allowing flexibility in deployment across multiple jurisdictions and entity types.
