NIGP 72606: Adhesive/Cement, Radio

NIGP 72606 Adhesive/Cement, Radio is an Item code that covers two distinct product families: portland cement for public works and infrastructure maintenance, and radio frequency equipment and accessories for emergency response and law enforcement communications. State and local governments buy portland cement primarily for the City of Charlotte Department of Transportation for sidewalk installation, curb and gutter work, driveway repair, and traffic signal foundation construction; they also purchase Motorola radios and accessories for sheriff's offices and emergency responder systems, including in-building radio frequency coverage enhancements using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems compliant with NFPA and UL standards. Issuing bodies include municipal public works departments (Charlotte), county sheriff's offices (Santa Clara County), and municipal aviation authorities (City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement). The code also supports cooperative purchasing vehicles: Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, is soliciting law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states including Washington, with the resulting contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities nationwide.

Recent activity spans three states and regions. The City of Charlotte issued an Invitation for Bid (ITB) for Portland Cement due November 3, 2026, to supply the Street Maintenance Division. Santa Clara County posted two successive Requests for Quotations for Motorola Radios and Accessories for the Office of the Sheriff in June and July 2026, with response dates of June 17 and July 24, 2026 respectively. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement issued an IFB for in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement services (IFB-26-0355) due July 10, 2026, for a five-year term commencing August 25, 2026, subject to DBE-N program requirements and NFPA 1225 and UL 2524 compliance standards, requiring contractors to demonstrate three years of turnkey RF enhancement experience and hold NICET certifications. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, establishes a cooperative framework extending beyond the Pacific Northwest to participating entities throughout the United States and Canada.
