NIGP 68097: Warning Systems, Perimeter Anti-Intrusion, Electronic (Including Civil Defense and Natural Disaster Types)

NIGP 68097 Warning Systems, Perimeter Anti-Intrusion, Electronic (Including Civil Defense And Natural Disaster Types) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure earthquake early warning systems, detention facility security system upgrades, and integrated video surveillance and access control infrastructure modernization. The Ontario International Airport Authority is pursuing a Request for Information for Earthquake Early Warning system solutions utilizing USGS ShakeAlert signal with responses due November 19, 2026, seeking vendors capable of delivering public notification systems, automated protective actions for critical airport infrastructure, and integration with existing facility management systems. Cobb County, Georgia issued a Construction Manager At-Risk solicitation in July 2026 for detention security system upgrades at the Adult Detention Center and Judicial Complex, requiring integration of aging Programmable Logic Controllers and multiple video surveillance systems into a single networked platform. Issuing bodies include airport authorities, county detention facilities, and state transportation departments; repeat activity centers on facility modernization projects requiring system integration and operational continuity across large campuses.

Activity under the code concentrates in California and Georgia, with recent solicitations spanning transportation infrastructure (Caltrans security video equipment maintenance), public safety detention facilities (Cobb County), and critical-infrastructure emergency response (Ontario International Airport). California Department of Transportation solicited bids on security video equipment maintenance and repair services for four Bay Area tunnel locations under an IFB with bids due June 18, 2026, requiring C-10 electrical contractor licensure and extensive technical certifications in video management systems. The geographic spread reflects state-level transportation and public safety priorities in West Coast and Southeast jurisdictions. Representative opportunities demonstrate a mix of capital equipment procurement (system design and installation), service and maintenance contracts (routine and emergency response), and integrated project delivery structures (DDBOM engagements). Respondents pursuing this code should position capabilities in system integration, cybersecurity compliance, accessibility standards (ADA messaging), automation controls, and long-term operations and maintenance support.
