NIGP 72531: Monitoring, Surveillance and Intrusion Detection Systems, Telecommunications Network

NIGP 72531 Monitoring, Surveillance And Intrusion Detection Systems, Telecommunications Network is an Item code that has been inactivated for new use since March 1, 2007, with procurement activity redirected to NIGP 838-83. However, recent state and local solicitations continue to reference security monitoring, surveillance, and intrusion detection work across detention facilities, airports, schools, and county infrastructure. State and local governments are actively procuring full-body scanner systems for facility admissions with contraband and weapons detection capability, access control and video management systems for secured areas, alarm system monitoring services for fire and burglary signals across multiple locations, weapons detection systems for school campuses, and air traffic control tower communications packages with weather integration. Issuing bodies include county detention authorities (Collin County, Texas), county airport authorities (Peachtree City Airport Authority, Georgia; Pinellas County, Florida), counties (Sacramento County, California), and school districts (Wicomico County Public Schools, Maryland). The scope encompasses both hardware procurement with installation and commissioning and ongoing managed monitoring services with 24/7 response capabilities.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, and Maryland. Representative solicitations include Collin County's RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system with turnkey installation, on-site training, and four-hour response technical support (proposals due September 17, 2026, estimated first-year cost $242,000), Peachtree City Airport Authority's IFB for air traffic control tower communications and weather systems with FAA compliance requirements and demonstrated three-location installation experience (bids due September 17, 2026), Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0012 for 24/7 alarm monitoring across 228 county-owned facilities requiring UL 827 certification and three years of commercial monitoring experience (bids due March 24, 2026), Pinellas County's ITB for access control and video management system maintenance at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport with $105,000 annual contract value (proposals due May 5, 2026), and Wicomico County Public Schools' RFP for weapons detection systems installation and commissioning across school locations (proposals due July 9, 2026). Most opportunities require substantial insurance coverage, compliance with federal standards (FAA, TSA, FDA), and vendor certifications or prior experience in equivalent installations.
