NIGP 83883: Telecommunication (Internet Protocol) Network Monitoring, Surveillance, Intrusion Detection Systems and Networking Products

NIGP 83883 Telecommunication (Internet Protocol) Network Monitoring, Surveillance, Intrusion Detection Systems And Networking Products is an Item code capturing state and local government procurement for fiber-based metro-ethernet transport, broadband connectivity infrastructure, IP video surveillance systems, network cabling and installation services, cybersecurity managed services, and inmate communication and monitoring technology across correctional facilities, education systems, transportation agencies, and municipal government. Recent solicitations reveal the code spans last-mile WAN connectivity for state agencies, surveillance system deployment in schools and law enforcement, managed network services for multi-supplier environments, and integrated technology systems in correctional settings where IP-based services support inmate telephone, video visitation, tablet access, and GPS monitoring.

State departments of information technology and criminal justice dominate issuing activity, with secondary participation from county and city governments, regional education service centers, and special-purpose districts. The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology posts multiple metro-ethernet RFQs monthly for Department of Corrections, Department of Transportation, Department of Juvenile Justice, and Department of Human Services facilities, establishing it as a standout repeat buyer. Texas agencies—including the Department of Criminal Justice, Department of Information Resources, and Education Service Center Region 4—actively procure video surveillance, broadband cabling, managed network services, and inmate technology systems. County correctional facilities and sheriff departments in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and North Carolina solicit surveillance, electronic monitoring, and communications infrastructure. Activity concentrates in Illinois, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Washington, with secondary procurement across Wisconsin, Connecticut, Oregon, and Michigan. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP for broadband connectivity and IP video surveillance systems across 80 facilities statewide (proposals due November 9, 2026, with mandatory VetHUB 3% subcontracting); the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology change order to upgrade bandwidth from 100 MB to 500 MB at two Department of Corrections sites (posted October 19, 2026, with 14-day review through November 3); the Texas Department of Information Resources RFO for managed network services serving eligible state and local customers (responses due September 4, 2026, with five-year term and 24/7/365 monitoring); and Collin County, Texas IFB for inmate cell sprinkler head replacement and Dallas area cabling and video surveillance installation services (bids due November 19 and November 9, 2026, respectively). Correctional facility technology—particularly inmate monitoring, telephone systems, and GPS tracking—represents significant volume, with Tucson City Court, Sauk County Jail, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and Michigan Department of Corrections all procuring electronic monitoring or inmate technology solutions. Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: VetHUB goals at 3% and 26% in Texas procurement, Business Enterprise Program set-asides in Illinois, and small business set-aside waivers documented when capacity constraints are established.
