NIGP 84072: Video Lighting Units (Portable) and Battery Packs, Accessories, etc.

NIGP 84072 Video Lighting Units (Portable) and Battery Packs, Accessories, Etc., an Item code, encompasses portable video lighting equipment, battery systems, and related accessories that state and local governments procure as components of broader audio-visual, live-event production, and facility infrastructure projects. Recent solicitation activity shows this code appearing as a bundled element within larger service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity purchase—colleges and school districts are buying complete video production, electrical maintenance, and specialized event services where lighting equipment figures as part of the technical specification or service delivery requirement. Valencia College's request for full-service multi-camera live-switched video production and streaming services for commencement ceremonies, for example, requires lighting as part of the technical infrastructure needed to deliver broadcast-quality content, while Pinellas County School District's electrical maintenance contract specifies auditorium, theater, and sports field lighting among the systems contractors must service and repair. The issuing bodies include higher-education institutions, K-12 school districts, and county purchasing offices across multiple states, with Florida showing recent concentrated activity among colleges and school districts.

The geographic spread spans Florida prominently—Valencia College in Orange County and Pinellas County School District—along with Washington state and Texas districts represented in the recent opportunities block. Valencia College awarded its video production and streaming contract to Omni World Productions, Inc., an Orlando-based firm, with four commencement ceremonies scheduled for December 10, 2025 (two events) and May 3, 2026 (two events) at Addition Financial Arena, University of Central Florida; the RFQ (QR202603) required quotes by August 7, 2025 and mandated three years of comparable live video production experience with local team presence. Pinellas County School District's electrical maintenance services solicitation (26CD037), due October 8, 2026, carries an estimated contract value of approximately $400,000 and includes theater and auditorium lighting as a specified service area, alongside parking lot, sports field, and other facility lighting systems. Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas posted multiple maintenance and supplies RFPs on May 4, 2026, including electrical services (MECS0526), though the available documentation does not specify lighting scope detail. Cooperative purchasing also appears: Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment seeks to establish solutions across multiple Washington, Minnesota, and national jurisdictions, though the available materials do not detail lighting components explicitly.
