NIGP 84065: Television Transmitters

NIGP Item 84065 Television Transmitters covers broadcasting and transmission equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement communications, emergency management, and public safety dispatch systems. The Item code encompasses equipment used to establish and maintain radio and television transmission infrastructure for agency operations, including fixed and mobile transmitters, related control systems, and ancillary broadcast equipment. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county sheriffs' offices, state police and highway patrol departments, emergency management agencies, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across numerous public entities. The scope of work extends beyond a single jurisdiction; state and local procurement under this code reflects regional and statewide standardization of interoperable communications systems, often bundled with broader law enforcement equipment packages.
