NIGP 72527: High Frequency Radio (Ssb), Mobile and Base

NIGP 72527 High Frequency Radio (SSB), Mobile and Base is an Item code covering radio service and support equipment that state and local public-safety agencies currently solicit for emergency communications infrastructure. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized radio-servicing diagnostic equipment and in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement systems using distributed antenna and bi-directional amplifier technology. Work includes equipment procurement, system design, installation, testing, and ongoing support for first-responder radio networks. Issuing bodies include county public-safety departments and municipal aviation and public-works authorities. Procurement combines equipment specification (often single-source models) with turnkey service delivery, including site assessment, compliance certification to NFPA and UL standards, and long-term support contracts.

The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement issued IFB260355 for in-building radio frequency coverage revision on July 17, 2026, with sealed offers due July 10, 2026 under a five-year contract term commencing August 25, 2026; the work covers emergency responder radio coverage system design, installation, and optimization across Sky Harbor International, Deer Valley, and Goodyear airports and city buildings, subject to DBE-N set-aside requirements and FAA compliance. Montgomery County Department of Public Safety posted Solicitation 6621 on September 29, 2026, seeking competitive bids for a Viavi ComXpert CX300 communications service monitor complete system with proposals due October 27, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, with individual solicitations also appearing in Maryland; the small number of recent postings reflects the legacy status of this code, which was inactivated for new NIGP use effective March 1, 2007, with reference redirected to NIGP 72657.
