NIGP 84020: Broadcast Equipment, Television

NIGP 84020 Broadcast Equipment, Television is an Item code under which state and local governments procure integrated broadcast systems, transmission facility management, studio production equipment, and audiovisual infrastructure for public meetings, emergency services, and streaming delivery. Recent opportunities show a shift toward turnkey integrated solutions that combine hardware, software, and service delivery rather than point equipment purchases alone. Issuing bodies span county governments, public broadcasting authorities, cities, utilities commissions, colleges, and transit authorities, with repeat buyers including Hillsborough County (Florida), the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority, and Valencia College District. The City of Phoenix and the County of San Mateo have posted separate procurements for television and audiovisual engineering services and installations respectively, signaling sustained demand for broadcast infrastructure modernization across jurisdictions of varying size.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, New Jersey, Arizona, and Illinois. Hillsborough County issued a sole-source solicitation (SS2600299) for the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI System and Services with a June 22, 2026 response date, specifying a fully integrated broadcast and content-delivery ecosystem supporting simultaneous cable television channel automation, live meeting broadcasting, video-on-demand publishing, OTT streaming, and mobile applications. The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, solicited on behalf of the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority (26DPP01314, T2870) for comprehensive transmission facility management services across thirteen television facilities—encompassing routine inspections, HVAC maintenance, transmitter function verification, and FCC Title 47 CFR Part 73 compliance documentation—with a June 12, 2026 bid deadline, a mandatory site visit on June 2, 2026, and a three-year contract term with two optional one-year extensions. Valencia College District issued RFP 2026-26 for classroom and conference room technology services across nine campus locations (approximately 900 rooms), with proposals due April 30, 2026; the College has averaged $1.6 million annually in spending over the past five fiscal years and anticipates upgrading 50–75 rooms annually. The City of Charlotte posted RFP #269-2026-1988 for video monitoring and access control system maintenance for the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) across approximately 50 facilities, covering 1,023 cameras (including IP-360, IP-dome, IP-PTZ, and analog units) and 153 blue light emergency devices, with proposals due March 12, 2026 and services commencing July 1, 2026.
