NIGP 84021: Broadcast Disaster Recovery Equipment

NIGP 84021 Broadcast Disaster Recovery Equipment, an Item code, encompasses integrated broadcast platforms and supporting hardware that state and local governments procure to sustain continuous emergency communications, government transparency, and content delivery during and after disaster events. Recent solicitations show governments buying fully unified systems combining cable television channel automation, live meeting broadcasting, video-on-demand publishing, OTT streaming, mobile applications, character generation, bulletin board services, and emergency integration into a single managed platform with enterprise-grade broadcast server architecture, redundant power supplies, RAID storage, SDI and IP ingest/playout capability, and support for multiple workflow standards including NDI, RTP, RTMP, RTSP, and HLS. Counties dominate the issuing-body mix; Hillsborough County in Florida issued a sole-source RFP in June 2026 for the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI System and Services with a June 22 response deadline, specifying requirements for 24/7 continuous broadcast operation, seamless integration with existing studio workflows, and scalability without core platform replacement.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida, with Hillsborough County the sole recent buyer named in the source. The Hillsborough County solicitation (SS2600299) represents the primary procurement signal under this code, though the source does not identify estimated contract value, contract term, place of performance beyond Hillsborough County operations, or a timeline for questions and pre-procurement meetings beyond the proposal due date. No other state and local jurisdictions appear in the most-recent-opportunities block for broadcast disaster recovery equipment procurement.
