NIGP 72560: Telecommunication Equipment (Via Satellite) for Police and Emergency Vehicle (Including Radio/Terminal Display)

NIGP 72560 Telecommunication Equipment (Via Satellite) For Police And Emergency Vehicle is an Item code that has been inactive for new use since March 1, 2007, with procurement references now directed to NIGP 838-81. Despite its dormant status, recent state and local solicitations demonstrate sustained demand for emergency communication systems combining satellite connectivity, mobile radio equipment, in-building radio frequency coverage, and integrated emergency management platforms serving public safety agencies, transit authorities, school districts, and county emergency operations centers.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies across county emergency management (Sacramento County Emergency Operations Center), school districts (Pinellas County School District, Bibb County Public Schools), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), municipal police departments (City of Bradenton Police Department), and county public safety systems (Brevard County) soliciting equipment, maintenance services, and software integration.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County, Brevard County, Orange County), California (Sacramento County), and Arizona (Phoenix), with additional procurement activity in Georgia (Bibb County Schools) and Texas Department of Transportation cooperative purchasing vehicles. Estimated contract values range from approximately $110,000 annually (Pinellas County Schools ERCES maintenance) to $200,000 (Orange County Transportation Authority mobile radio and MDT maintenance) to $1 million (City of Bradenton ONESolution Public Safety software upgrade).
