NIGP 68082: Remote Operations Equipment

NIGP 68082 Remote Operations Equipment, an Item code, encompasses protective equipment and tactical systems for law enforcement and public safety operations, grounded in recent state and local solicitations for body armor, ballistic systems, ammunition, and law enforcement detection and surveillance technology. State and local governments buying under this code procure NIJ-compliant ballistic body armor systems, live and less-lethal ammunition, CBRNE detection equipment, police body cameras, in-car video systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, license plate readers, and laser/radar speed detection equipment. The issuing-body mix includes city police departments, school district police forces, county purchasing offices, state departments of treasury and purchasing, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell. Austin Independent School District and Rockland County, New York, appear as active repeat buyers in the recent opportunity stream. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury is conducting a statewide reprocurement covering nine product categories with over 2,800 cooperative purchasing participants.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in Texas, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota.
