NIGP 91365: Maintenance, Repair, and Removal Services, Antenna Tower and Other Communication Equipment

NIGP 91365 Maintenance, Repair, and Removal Services, Antenna Tower and Other Communication Equipment is an Item code covering routine and emergency work on radio towers, cellular infrastructure, and associated systems that state and local governments own or operate for public safety, transit, and communications purposes. State and local agencies procure inspection, testing, structural assessment, preventive and corrective maintenance, lighting system upgrades, equipment removal, antenna installation, grounding repairs, and decommissioning of towers ranging from 40 to 960 feet in height. Recent solicitations show a mix of fixed annual contracts with on-call rates, job-order structures, and one-time maintenance or decommissioning projects. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation, Illinois State Police), county emergency management and information technology services (Gwinnett County, Chatham County, Ozaukee County), municipal utilities and water departments (Town of Mooresville for water storage tanks), and multi-agency consortia (Illinois State Police managing towers for IDOT, IDNR, and IDOC). The Texas Department of Transportation has posted the same tower inspection and repair solicitation twice in recent months (June 4 and September 14, 2026), suggesting either a resolicitation or failed prior procurement.
