NIGP 84028: Cassette Holders, Video

NIGP 84028 Cassette Holders, Video (Item) encompasses physical storage and organization equipment for video cassettes and related media — a legacy commodity that state and local governments continue to procure, though activity remains tied to maintenance and replacement within existing law enforcement, transit, and facility-management operations. Recent solicitations show the code functioning primarily as an ancillary line item within broader video surveillance and security equipment contracts, rather than as a standalone procurement category. State and local issuing bodies acquiring under this code include county law enforcement agencies, transit authorities, and municipal public-safety departments operating legacy video-recording infrastructure that predates digital systems. The scope involves cassette storage racks, holders, and organizational media for both surveillance systems and body camera programs within law enforcement and facility-security operations.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, establishing a framework available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada. The City of Charlotte issued RFP #269-2026-1988 for Cameras & Access Controls Maintenance through the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) on February 12, 2026, with a response deadline of March 12, 2026, covering maintenance for 1,023 cameras across 50 transit facilities; the contract includes optional renewal periods and commences July 1, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with notable transit and law enforcement procurement in North Carolina and Washington state. Given the legacy nature of cassette-based video storage and the industry shift toward digital and IP-based systems, new standalone cassette-holder solicitations are sparse; the code remains relevant primarily to replacement and maintenance work within jurisdictions maintaining older surveillance infrastructure.
