NIGP 73012: Computer-Automated Measurement and Control (Camac) Systems and Devices, All Kinds

NIGP 73012 Computer-Automated Measurement and Control (CAMAC) Systems and Devices, an Item code, encompasses automated data management, measurement, monitoring, and control systems that state and local governments deploy to streamline operational workflows, improve data accuracy, and reduce manual processing. The code captures a diverse range of applications: centralized data management platforms that automate validation and document generation; AI-powered service automation solutions that handle high-volume routine interactions across departments and public channels; and RFID-enabled automated material handling systems for library circulation and inventory management. Issuing bodies span county transportation authorities, cities, public libraries, and county sheriffs' offices. Recent solicitations show activity from operational departments seeking efficiency gains through system integration and automation rather than legacy control-system or instrumentation purchases.

Recent opportunities cluster in California and Arizona, with representation from the broader Midwest. The Orange County Transportation Authority posted RFI 250424 in August 2026, seeking a centralized solution to automate City Fact Sheet data management across 34 Orange County cities and the County of Orange, requiring Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle databases, Windows Server or RedHat Enterprise Linux, NIST 800-53 compliance, and California privacy regulation adherence, with written questions due August 18, 2026 and responses by addendum August 27, 2026. The City of Tucson released an RFP for an enterprise AI-powered chatbot and service automation platform through the Axia Cooperative purchasing program—estimated nationwide annual volume $25 million—with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a pre-submittal meeting June 22, 2026, covering phased rollout across IT, water utilities, and citywide departments with NIST compliance, FedRAMP or StateRAMP certification, and 72-hour breach notification requirements. The Urbana Free Library (Illinois) issued RFP FY2026RFP185 in June 2026 for an RFID-enabled automated material handling system for circulation workflows, due July 10, 2026, requiring Polaris ILS integration, four-hour hardware response times, five-year extended warranty, and flexible financing. The County of Santa Clara posted RFQ RFQPRCFY260713 in June 2026 for Motorola radios and accessories for the Sheriff's Office, due June 17, 2026.
