NIGP 72524: Frequency Data Communication Equipment, Radio (Including Identification Equipment)

NIGP 72524, Frequency Data Communication Equipment, Radio (Including Identification Equipment), is an Item code that has been inactivated for new use as of March 1, 2007, with references directed to NIGP 726-47. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code remains sparse, reflecting its legacy status. The limited solicitations posted show government buying emergency responder radio coverage systems, communications service monitoring equipment, and related in-building radio frequency enhancement infrastructure — typically specified as single-model equipment or turnkey system designs rather than commodity purchases. Issuing bodies include county public safety departments and city procurement offices managing infrastructure across multiple facilities.

Montgomery County Department of Public Safety issued Solicitation 6621 on September 29, 2026, for a Viavi ComXpert CX300 communications service monitor complete system, with bids due October 27, 2026. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement released IFB 260355 on July 17, 2026, for in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement services under a five-year contract beginning August 25, 2026, specifying turnkey emergency responder radio coverage system design, installation, testing, and optimization using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems with compliance to NFPA 1225 and UL 2524 standards. The Phoenix procurement required minimum three years of turnkey RF enhancement experience, NICET-certified key personnel, and firm fixed pricing. Geographic activity is limited to Arizona and Maryland in recent posting records. The inactivated status and sparse recent opportunity flow suggest this code no longer represents the primary vehicle for radio equipment and communications infrastructure procurement in state and local markets.
