NIGP 89821: Computed Radiography Digitizing Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 89821 Computed Radiography Digitizing Equipment And Supplies, an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code number. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement Division has issued two recent IFBs (IFB-26-0148 and IFB-26-0355) soliciting turnkey in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement services for emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS), distributed antenna systems (DAS), and bi-directional amplifiers (BDA) — infrastructure and installation work, not radiography equipment or supplies. Both five-year contracts require sealed offers from qualified vendors who demonstrate a minimum of three years of direct ERRCS/DAS/BDA project experience, employ personnel holding NICET IB-PSC certifications, and provide an Arizona-licensed professional engineer for compliance sign-off. Pricing is firm and fixed on a per-unit or hourly basis across multiple labor categories. The contracts are subject to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) compliance under 49 CFR Part 26, federal environmental and civil rights regulations applicable to City of Phoenix Aviation Department projects, and extensive technical standards including NFPA 1225 and UL 2524. Contractors must provide emergency response within four hours and on-site support within 24 hours for critical failures, plus a warranty period (12 to 24 months depending on the solicitation).

Activity under this code is limited to the City of Phoenix, with both recent opportunities posted in 2026. IFB-26-0148, posted April 22, 2026, with an April 30, 2026 response deadline, called for sealed offers with a contract start of July 1, 2026; a pre-offer conference was held March 27, 2026, and written inquiries closed April 3, 2026. IFB-26-0355, posted July 17, 2026, with a July 10, 2026 response deadline (noted as past due as of the posting date), sought sealed offers for contract commencement August 25, 2026. No other jurisdictions or issuing bodies appear in the source material. The code designation and actual procurement scope diverge substantially — the NIGP category name references computed radiography digitizing equipment, while Phoenix's active solicitations target radio frequency infrastructure design, installation, testing, and optimization for public safety communications across municipal buildings and airport properties.
