NIGP 93906: Audio-Visual Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93906 Audio-Visual Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, covers the maintenance, repair, and support of audio-visual systems across state and local facilities—schools, courthouses, convention centers, parking structures, and municipal buildings. Recent opportunities show demand for full-service AV system maintenance spanning classroom projectors and interactive displays, surveillance camera systems, theatrical lighting and projection, courtroom assisted listening equipment, and integrated audio systems at emergency operations centers and event venues.

The work encompasses preventative maintenance contracts with defined service levels, emergency repair response agreements, equipment upgrades and replacements, system integration and commissioning, training and technical support, and as-needed repair services on indefinite-quantity bases. Vendors are frequently required to hold industry certifications (CTS, RCDD, CCNA), provide references from comparable facilities, maintain substantial insurance coverage (often $1 million to $5 million per occurrence), and comply with prevailing wage and set-aside requirements where applicable.
