NIGP 65596: Video Capturing Devices Connected to Computers or Computer Networks, (Web Cameras)

NIGP 65596 Video Capturing Devices Connected To Computers Or Computer Networks (Web Cameras), an Item code, encompasses network-based surveillance and monitoring cameras that state and local governments procure for facility security, transportation infrastructure, educational settings, and specialized applications including traffic enforcement and wildlife monitoring. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, city agencies, transit authorities, and special districts acquiring brand-specific camera systems (Verkada, Ubiquiti, UniFi, Axis, Avigilon) alongside associated hardware such as Network Video Recorders, switches, cabling, and software licenses; many procurements bundle installation, configuration, training, and maintenance services. Issuing bodies span K-12 school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bartow County Schools in Georgia, New London Board of Education in Connecticut, Forsyth County Schools in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas), county governments (Catoosa County in Georgia, Pinellas County in Florida, Sacramento County in California, San Mateo County in California), city agencies (Fort Myers, Pembroke Pines, Kissimmee, San Marcos in Florida and Texas; Broward County Transportation), transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Broward County Transportation), and special districts (San Mateo Parks Department). Catoosa County appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for library and jail camera systems in the same window.

Recent opportunities center in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California, with activity spanning school security upgrades, municipal facility protection, airport and transit infrastructure, traffic and speed enforcement systems, and marine resource monitoring. Representative recent solicitations include Catoosa County Board of Commissioners requesting sealed bids for 118 Verkada cameras and installation at the Sheriff's Office and Jail in Ringgold, Georgia, with bids due July 23, 2026 (ITB 2026-16); New London Board of Education soliciting sealed bids for brand-specific UniFi camera equipment at four school locations with responses due May 19, 2026 (RFP 202614CONL); Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing an ITB for studio equipment including Datavideo PTZ cameras and production infrastructure with bids due April 13, 2026; Pinellas County requesting maintenance and repair services for existing Avigilon and Software House access control and video management systems at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport with proposals due May 5, 2026 (ITB 260395); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) posting a two-year catalog discount bid for network systems and supplies with proposals due July 28, 2026, estimated at $12.011 million in total expenditures across member agencies. Multiple jurisdictions are also conducting market-research RFIs to explore video management and AI analytics capabilities (Forsyth County Schools, Broward County Transportation, San Marcos) rather than committing to immediate purchases, signaling early-stage technology evaluation across several districts and municipalities.
