NIGP 72664: Intercom Systems, Prison

NIGP 72664 Intercom Systems, Prison, an Item code, covers the replacement and upgrade of intercom and audio communication systems in correctional facilities. State and local governments procure complete system replacements, design-and-specification services for analog-to-digital migration, hardware and software components, installation labor, and integration with existing security infrastructure such as inmate management software, camera systems, and duress alarm capabilities. Issuing bodies include county sheriff's offices, county corrections departments, and regional jail authorities. Recent solicitations show a mix of turnkey replacement projects and design-phase engagements that precede full implementation.
