NIGP 72677: Radio Frequency Scanner Receivers and Amplifiers (Including RF Connectors, Analyzers, Counters, Meters, Switches)

NIGP 72677 Radio Frequency Scanner Receivers And Amplifiers (Item) encompasses inspection, installation, maintenance, and repair services for RF communication and detection systems that state and local governments deploy across law enforcement, emergency management, aviation, public safety, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing RF system services across a diverse range of applications: two-way radio networks for emergency response, in-building RF coverage enhancement using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems, aviation communication device maintenance including VHF/UHF radios and transponders, emergency generator communication integration, and specialized RF equipment like pager systems and GPS tracking tags for wildlife monitoring. Issuing bodies include county sheriff departments, city procurement offices, state agencies (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), regional transit and housing authorities, university systems, and school districts. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner in California appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for aviation communication device maintenance, emergency generator services with RF components, and job-order contracting for security electronics across detention facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas, Minnesota, and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the County of Orange's IFB for maintenance and repair of aviation communication devices (59 line items of VHF/UHF radios, transponders, and ELTs across John Wayne Airport and subordinate facilities, response due September 30, 2026); the City of Phoenix's IFB for in-building RF coverage enhancement using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems across city airports and municipal buildings (five-year term, response due July 10, 2026); the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's ITB for wide-area two-way radio network services including 14 portable handheld radios, monthly wireless services, and on-site maintenance across 16 properties (five-year term, $50,000 maximum compensation, response due July 10, 2026); and the School Board of Hillsborough County's ITQ for inspection, installation, and repair of vehicle communication systems including two-way radio systems and RFID equipment across a 225,000-student district fleet (response due June 3, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell) and federal grant-funded programs (California BEAD broadband administration) also drive RF infrastructure procurement at scale.
