NIGP 65595: Video Equipment and Accessories (Including Tapes)

NIGP 65595 Video Equipment and Accessories (Including Tapes), an Item code, encompasses classroom projectors, AV systems, network video recorders, video surveillance and access control infrastructure, locomotive camera systems, webcams, and video production and streaming services—a mix that reflects the breadth of video capture, recording, management, and display technology now deployed across K–12 and higher education, transit authorities, developmental centers, and airport security operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing off-the-shelf video equipment (Axis and Logitech products), turnkey system integrations with installation and training, preventative maintenance and repair services for existing systems, and specialized video solutions tailored to sector-specific compliance requirements such as FRA mandates for locomotive recorders or TSA standards for airport access control upgrades.

School districts drive much of the activity, with Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issuing multiple procurements—an indefinite quantity contract for classroom projectors and AV equipment installation and repair services (RFP 2026-072, due August 6, 2026) and a cooperative quote for Logitech webcams (due March 16, 2026)—alongside larger district-wide technology services like Valencia College's college-wide classroom and conference room technology RFP (RFP 2026-26, due April 30, 2026, based on approximately $1.6 million in average annual spending). Illinois Department of Human Services issued Axis network video recorder IFBs for developmental centers (due March 18, 2026, and re-bid due May 28, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools solicited studio equipment and training for television production across elementary, middle, and high school configurations (ITB 26049, due April 13, 2026, estimated annual spending $300,000), and the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority issued an Invitation to Negotiate for an integrated locomotive digital video and audio recorder system with FRA compliance requirements (ITN 26-002, due May 7, 2026). Sacramento County's airport department procured a Hirsch Electronics access control and video security system upgrade (RFB 2026-RFB-0028, due April 3, 2026), Santa Clara County pursued Bosch Video Management Software preventative maintenance services (ITB due May 28, 2026), Broward County Transportation Department issued an RFI for video mirror solutions on transit buses (due May 4, 2026), and the City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase for audio-visual equipment for library branch locations (due April 22, 2026, $43,000 maximum). Geographic activity spans California, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota/Washington (through Sourcewell cooperative), and Texas, with school districts and transit authorities representing the dominant issuing bodies alongside special-purpose districts and municipal departments.
