NIGP 80361: Public Address Systems, Stationary

NIGP 80361 Public Address Systems, Stationary is an Item code that encompasses the procurement of audio-visual equipment and integrated systems by state and local jurisdictions, including podium lecterns with wireless microphone systems, PA speakers with mixers, handheld and lavalier wireless microphone systems, projector screens, digital signage displays, LED screens, PTZ cameras, television mounts, soundbars, and related cabling and mounting hardware. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include city procurement offices, county utilities commissions, and college district boards of trustees. The work ranges from micro purchases of discrete audio-visual components for library systems to comprehensive turnkey installations and ongoing maintenance of integrated presentation and broadcast systems spanning multiple facilities and campuses, with contractors often responsible for design, furnish, installation, programming, and multi-year support services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, with solicitations from the New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission in Volusia County (ITB 12-26, due May 13, 2026), Valencia College District Board of Trustees (RFP 2026-26, due April 30, 2026 with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting April 8, 2026), and out-of-state procurement from the City of Philadelphia (micro purchase B2626890, due April 22, 2026). The Valencia College RFP represents the largest recent opportunity, with historical annual spending of approximately $1.6 million and a three-year initial term plus two optional one-year extensions, requiring turnkey services across approximately 900 classrooms and conference rooms across nine campus locations with specified equipment manufacturers including Panasonic, Sony, Chief, Da-Lite, Extron, Crestron, and Crown. The Philadelphia City micro purchase ($43,000 maximum with annual CPI-U adjustment) sought equipment for the Parkway Central Library and branch locations, awarded as a whole or by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, while the New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission ITB required full design, installation, and programming of an integrated audio-visual system for public meetings and live streaming capabilities in a single conference room with a May 13, 2026 response deadline.
