NIGP 80330: Intercom Systems, Group (for Panel Discussions, Schoolrooms, Hospital Rooms, etc.)

NIGP 80330 Intercom Systems, Group (For Panel Discussions, Schoolrooms, Hospital Rooms, Etc.) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure intercom, public address, and integrated audio-visual communication systems for schools, healthcare facilities, utilities, and public safety venues. Recent solicitations show school districts driving the majority of activity, procuring everything from basic two-way intercom installations across multiple buildings to sophisticated IP-based systems with emergency notification, integrated control panels, and multi-camera broadcast capability. Healthcare facilities are also active buyers—the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs recently solicited bids for a complete nurse call system replacement at a state nursing home with design-build scope and structured wiring infrastructure. Classroom audio enhancement, conference room audio-visual systems, and turnkey technology services bundling intercom with document cameras, wireless microphones, projectors, and touch controls also fall under this code. Issuing bodies include school districts at all sizes (from small rural systems like Brooks County Schools in Georgia to large multi-campus operations like Valencia College District in Florida), municipal utilities commissions, county sheriff departments, and state health and veterans affairs agencies. School districts dominate the recent opportunity pipeline.

Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, and Arizona, with particularly dense clustering in Florida (Valencia College, New Smyrna Beach Utilities, Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs, and Furlow Charter School all posting between April and June 2026) and Georgia (Cherokee County School District, Richmond County Board of Education, and Brooks County Schools). Representative current solicitations include the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs ITB for Chester Sims State Veterans' Nursing Home nurse call system replacement (ITB15952, sealed bids due June 30, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid June 3, 2026), Valencia College's three-year classroom and conference room technology services RFP covering approximately 900 rooms across nine campuses with estimated historical annual spending of $1.6 million (RFP 2026-26, proposals due April 30, 2026), Richmond County Board of Education's Langford-Tutt classroom audio enhancement RFP for 60 classrooms with a 100-point evaluation matrix (RFP#26-206, proposals due May 27, 2026), and Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District's IP-based intercom system replacement RFP for its Career and Technical Education Center (RFP#25-26-19, proposals due April 8, 2026). The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department in California is also pre-qualifying contractors for job order contracting in security electronics and detention equipment services (pre-qualification documents due April 13, 2026, with bid advertisement anticipated for July 2026).
