NIGP 84036: Frequency Measuring Equipment, Television

NIGP 84036 Frequency Measuring Equipment, Television is an Item code that covers specialized electronic instruments state and local governments procure for law enforcement operations, broadcast monitoring, and technical diagnostic applications. The scope includes frequency counters, spectrum analyzers, and related measurement devices used in police departments and emergency services to monitor communications equipment, detect unauthorized transmissions, and troubleshoot radio and television systems. Recent procurement activity shows state and local bodies sourcing this equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles as part of broader law enforcement equipment packages rather than as standalone line items.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) seeking law enforcement equipment solutions on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with hundreds of other jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada. The cooperative structure allows the selected vendor or vendors to supply frequency measuring and related law enforcement equipment to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments through a participating addendum framework. Proposals are submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or specific budget ranges are identified in the available solicitation materials. This represents a significant market opportunity for vendors positioned to serve law enforcement modernization and equipment upgrades across a multi-state, multi-sector customer base leveraging collective buying power.
