NIGP 83985: Telephone Equipment Parts and Accessories (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 83985 Telephone Equipment Parts And Accessories (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, covers the replacement components, peripherals, and consumable supplies that state and local agencies source to maintain and upgrade telephone infrastructure — headsets, cabling systems, prepaid cellular devices, analog phones, and Avaya Communication Manager hardware and maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring structured cabling and installation services for emergency communications, headsets and accessories for public safety answering points and regional communications offices, prepaid cellular and card products for operational use, Avaya enterprise telephony systems and maintenance, and analog telephone equipment for correctional facilities. The issuing-body mix spans state departments of criminal justice and information technology services, county sheriff and emergency management offices, city procurement bureaus, and regional communications authorities — with repeat activity from the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and state technology procurement offices in Washington, Mississippi, and South Dakota.

Activity concentrates in California, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in the Southeast and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department's IFB for emergency generator service and repairs across 33 facilities (posted October 15, 2026, due November 12, 2026), the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department's IFB for structured cabling and installation services as a $3 million job-order contract with mandatory pre-bid meeting (posted August 19, 2026, due August 19, 2026), Broward County's open-end indefinite-quantity contract for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories serving the Office of Regional Communications and Technology and 911 PSAPs (posted July 2, 2026, due July 17, 2026), Washington State Technology Solutions' RFQQ for Avaya hardware, software, maintenance, and services spanning five counties with $1.303 million estimated five-year maintenance costs (posted July 16, 2026, due August 6, 2026), the State of South Dakota's annual contract for telephone equipment and supplies (posted July 17, 2026, due August 3, 2026), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bids for analog phones (posted July 28, 2026, due August 13, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's RFQ for prepaid cellphones and prepaid cards (posted August 17, 2026, due August 31, 2026), and the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services' RFP for Avaya products and services (posted June 30, 2026, due July 31, 2026).
