NIGP 84014: Audio Equipment and Accessories, Television (Microphones, Mixers, and Amplifiers)

NIGP 84014 Audio Equipment and Accessories, Television (Microphones, Mixers, and Amplifiers), an Item code, covers the furnishing, installation, and integration of live audio capture, amplification, and signal processing systems for government meeting spaces, courtrooms, civic centers, and broadcast facilities. State and local governments purchase under this code primarily to upgrade aging public-address infrastructure in council chambers, courtrooms, emergency operations centers, and performance venues—work that typically bundles wireless and wired microphones, digital mixers and signal processors, amplifiers, speakers, and control systems with installation and staff training. Issuing bodies span the full range of jurisdictions: cities (Holly Hill, Urbana, Dahlonega, Orlando, Arlington, St. Marys, Philadelphia, Tybee Island), counties (Volusia, San Bernardino, Gwinnett, Clayton, Hillsborough, Collin, Glynn), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Northside ISD, Marion County schools, City Colleges of Chicago, Fulton County Schools, Pinellas County), regional authorities (Atlanta Regional Commission), and specialized districts (Central Health/Travis County Healthcare District). Recent procurements favor RFPs over informal quotes, with response dates ranging from immediate to February 2027, and several solicitations offer optional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Cities and counties undertaking Commission Chambers and courtroom upgrades appear as the most frequent repeat buyers, often specifying Crestron control systems, Biamp digital signal processors, Shure microphone systems, and Samsung displays as required or preferred integrations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Holly Hill, Volusia, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Marion County), Georgia (Fulusa County, Atlanta Regional Commission, Clayton County, Glynn County, Dahlonega, St. Marys, Tybee Island), Texas (San Bernardino, Arlington, Fort Bend ISD, Northside ISD, Railroad Commission, Central Health), and Illinois (City Colleges of Chicago, Urbana). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Holly Hill RFP for Commission Chambers audio-video system upgrade (Solicitation 26PW01, proposals due February 11, 2026) covering nine wireless microphones, ceiling speakers, Dante-based DSP, amplifiers, and installation; San Bernardino County Sheriff's Technical Services audio-visual system procurement (SHR127ADMSR6561, proposals due November 10, 2026) for design, installation, and commissioning of video conferencing and presentation infrastructure; Volusia County's Emergency Operations Center A/V and IT renovation RFP (26-P-33JRD, proposals due January 29, 2026) requiring comprehensive system upgrades, electrical infrastructure, and structured cabling with a five-year term and optional renewals; and Gwinnett County's sound system procurement for Lenora Park Community Recreation Center (IWQ 137908, informal written quote due October 14, 2026) specifying 16 ceiling speakers, two amplifiers, wireless microphone systems, projectors, and motorized screens. The City of Orlando's Camping World Stadium main bowl sound system upgrade (RFP260476, proposals due August 10, 2026, extended via addendum) carries a two-year base contract with eight optional one-year extensions, a VBE preference of 2 points, and a 100% payment and performance bond requirement. Texas Procurement and Support Services (TIPS) established a statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle for audio-visual equipment, supplies, and services (Solicitation 260901, proposals due October 16, 2026) available to authorized Texas state and local entities on an as-needed basis with pre-negotiated pricing.
