NIGP 84086: Video Systems (for Studio Quality Production)

NIGP 84086 Video Systems (For Studio Quality Production), an Item code, encompasses the purchase, installation, integration, and maintenance of broadcast-grade audio-visual equipment and systems for live production, recording, streaming, and facility management. State and local governments procure under this code for conference room upgrades with multi-camera capability and integrated control, educational studio setups with turn-key training, transportation authority video documentation systems, public broadcasting transmission facility management, and large-venue event production including LED displays, PA systems, and lighting rigs. Issuing bodies span school districts (notably Hillsborough County Public Schools and DeKalb County School District), colleges and universities (Valencia College District), transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System), public broadcasting authorities (New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority), municipal utilities (New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission), and event authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). Recent procurements reveal demand for systems integrating wireless connectivity, cloud-based management, multi-platform streaming capability, and vendor-provided installation, programming, and staff training as standard deliverables.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary representation in New Jersey, Minnesota, and North Carolina. Representative opportunities include Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 (issued April 6, 2026, due April 30, 2026) seeking classroom and conference room technology services across nine campuses with an estimated $1.6 million annual spend; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26049 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 13, 2026) for studio equipment packages at elementary, middle, and high school sites with approximately $300,000 estimated annual spending; South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's ITN 26-002 (posted March 31, 2026, due May 7, 2026) for integrated locomotive digital video and audio recorder systems across 41 rail vehicles; DeKalb County School District's RFP 26-728 (posted January 29, 2026, due February 26, 2026) for live audio, video, and staging services supporting high school commencement exercises; and Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP (posted February 24, 2026, due March 10, 2026) for FIFA Fan Festival production services including LED displays and audio systems across multiple outdoor venue zones. Contracts typically run three to five years with one-year renewal options, require detailed design and installation timelines with milestone-based payment structures, and mandate performance bonds, comprehensive insurance, and compliance with prevailing wage and federal transit requirements when FTA funding is involved.
