NIGP 72595: Recycled Communications Equipment (Including Batteries, Radios, Telephones, Telecommunication Equipment, etc.)

NIGP 72595 Recycled Communications Equipment, an Item code, is inactive for new use as of March 1, 2007, with solicitations directed to NIGP 72680. State and local governments historically procured refurbished or recycled telecommunications hardware—radios, telephones, batteries, and related equipment—under this code, but the recent activity in the procurement databases reflects current work being routed to its successor classification. The code remains visible in legacy solicitation records and municipal procurement systems, though new opportunities are no longer issued against it.

No current state and local contract opportunities are being solicited under NIGP 72595 itself. The single recent record in the database—the City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement IFB-26-0355 for in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement, due July 10, 2026—is a turnkey emergency responder radio system design, installation, and optimization engagement using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems, and would be classified under the active successor code 72680 rather than the inactivated 72595. Firms pursuing recycled or refurbished telecommunications equipment procurement from state and local buyers should monitor NIGP 72680 for current opportunities and verify procurement classification in submission portals before responding to any notices referencing the inactive 72595 code.
