NIGP 91578: Television Commercial Production

NIGP 91578 Television Commercial Production, an Item code, covers broadcast and production equipment supply, installation, maintenance, and labor services for government facilities and public events. State and local jurisdictions are buying television sets with specialized enclosures, mounting hardware, and tuning systems; production rigging and audio-visual services for large-scale events; production technician labor for studio and field video work; broadcast automation and content-delivery platforms; and radio campaign production and airtime. County sheriffs, state educational broadcasters, convention authorities, and local government agencies are the primary buyers, with repeat activity from Kentucky Educational Television and county purchasing offices. The scope spans equipment procurement with firm fixed-unit pricing and hourly labor rates, turnkey event production with commission-based revenue sharing, contract technician pools billed by half-day and full-day assignments, and specialized broadcast infrastructure sales.
