NIGP 91268: Monitoring Services, Structural

NIGP 91268 Monitoring Services, Structural is an Item code under which state and local governments procure continuous facility monitoring, alarm system supervision, and infrastructure assessment services. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in alarm monitoring (24/7/365 central station services for fire, burglary, and environmental signals across multi-facility county portfolios), bridge and structural inspection analysis (data interpretation and reporting for transportation agencies), and non-destructive testing research for condition assessment of buried structures and bridge decks. The County of Sacramento is soliciting 24/7 alarm monitoring across 228 county-owned facilities with UL 827 certification and three years' commercial alarm experience required; the Texas Department of Transportation Houston Maintenance Office is seeking bridge analysis and reporting services to translate inspection data into actionable infrastructure intelligence; and the South Dakota Department of Transportation is funding $75,000 in research into non-destructive testing methods for void detection and deck delamination identification. Issuing bodies include county governments (Sacramento County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (TxDOT, SDDOT), and municipal agencies, reflecting a mix of facility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and transportation asset management needs.

Geographic activity centers on California (Sacramento, Santa Clara counties), Texas (Houston area via TxDOT), and South Dakota, with secondary representation from Georgia and Florida county procurement offices. The Sacramento County RFB for alarm monitoring services (Request for Bid 2026RFB0012) is due March 24, 2026, with one-year initial term and four optional one-year extensions, requiring monthly pricing per monitored location and optional value-added services (video/audio verification, API integration, advanced reporting). TxDOT's bridge analysis solicitation (Bonfire Reference #601330000046721) closed June 9, 2026, targeting inspection data interpretation and reporting methodologies. The SDDOT research RFP (26RFPSD202506) due March 19, 2026, seeks proposals from colleges, universities, research institutes, and consultants with deliverables including literature review, state agency NDT survey, and implementation guidance, with $75,000 total funding distributed as 40 percent upon initial findings, 30 percent upon recommendations, and 30 percent upon completion. No set-asides or incumbent information surfaces across the opportunities; participation is open and competition appears vendor-neutral on enterprise status.
