NIGP 72670: Pagers, Radio (Including Parts and Accessories)

NIGP Item 72670 Pagers, Radio (Including Parts and Accessories) covers two-way radio systems, pager devices, and related infrastructure and maintenance services that state and local governments procure for emergency response, fleet management, corrections, and agency communications. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying turnkey radio frequency coverage systems, individual radio units with accessories, pager watches and transmitters, and comprehensive installation and repair services spanning DVR systems, GPS units, AIM fuel-monitoring modules, RFID systems, and illuminated stop-arm equipment across vehicle fleets and facility networks. The issuing bodies include county sheriff offices, state corrections departments, school districts, city aviation authorities, and state information resources departments. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, is also actively marketing a law enforcement equipment contracting solution across multiple participating Washington and national jurisdictions. The mix spans operational law enforcement procurement, specialized facilities such as correctional institutions, K-12 transportation infrastructure, and multi-agency state-level services agreements.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with recent solicitations from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation seeking a pager system (RFQ 10848269, quotations due June 22, 2026), Santa Clara County requesting Motorola radios and accessories for the Sheriff's office (two RFQs posted June and July 2026), the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida soliciting vehicle camera and two-way radio system inspection and repair services (ITQ 26197ITQDST, responses due June 3, 2026), the City of Phoenix purchasing in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement for three municipal airports under a five-year IFB (IFB-26-0355, responses due July 10, 2026), and the Texas Department of Information Resources issuing an indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract for wireless, pager, and satellite services statewide (DIRCPOTXA610, responses due July 23, 2026). Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) positions the code within broader cooperative purchasing frameworks serving school districts, transit authorities, and tribal governments alongside traditional city and county buyers.
