NIGP 91583: Television Services, Satellite

NIGP 91583 Television Services, Satellite, an Item code, encompasses broadcast infrastructure, video distribution systems, and related engineering services that state and local governments deploy for cable automation, live event streaming, video-on-demand delivery, and public-access channel operations. Recent solicitations reveal a scope extending beyond traditional satellite transmission to include integrated broadcast playout systems, streaming workflows, mobile applications, and facility-based television production support. Issuing bodies include county governments (Hillsborough County, San Mateo County), city procurement offices (Phoenix, Atlanta), school districts (Manatee County), public college systems (Valencia College), and state departments (Georgia Department of Natural Resources). The mix reflects both large infrastructure procurements and tactical operational contracting—from enterprise video management platforms serving multiple campus locations to specialized engineering support for existing broadcast operations to point installations of display systems in medical facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County's Cablecast VIO2 OMNI sole-source procurement, posted June 2026, due June 22; Valencia College's college-wide classroom and conference room technology RFP, posted April 2026, due April 30; Manatee County Schools' technology equipment and services catalog-discount procurement, posted April 2026, due March 24), Georgia (Department of Natural Resources television services with equipment installation RFQ, posted March 2026, due March 30; City of Atlanta CCTV program services and installation pre-advertisement, posted January 2026), California (San Mateo County audiovisual system installation RFP, posted March 2026, due March 25), and Arizona (City of Phoenix part-time television engineering services IFB, posted April 2026, originally due January 2026). Contract values are not disclosed in the source materials, though Valencia College's historical annual spending averages $1.6 million. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's fully integrated broadcast and content-delivery platform procurement under sole-source authority; Phoenix's five-year part-time television engineering support contract with DBE and SBE participation requirements; and Atlanta's multi-facility enterprise CCTV solution requiring Axis Communications channel partnership and Genetec certified integrator qualifications.
