NIGP 93976: Satellite Systems Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93976 Satellite Systems Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses maintenance, repair, and technical support services for satellite and related wireless communication infrastructure that state and local governments use across law enforcement, emergency services, and agency-wide telecommunications networks. State and local buyers under this code solicit repairs and ongoing support for satellite dishes, wireless infrastructure components, and related equipment; they also procure satellite voice and data services bundled with equipment installation, maintenance, and network buildout. Issuing bodies range from county sheriff's offices and state information-resources departments to university systems, reflecting the broad institutional dependence on satellite and wireless connectivity for command-and-control, emergency response, and administrative communications.

Recent activity spans Texas, California, and Wisconsin. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) posted an indefinite-quantity, multiple-award ITB on May 26, 2026 (responses due July 23, 2026) for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services including equipment installation, site assessments, and network buildout for the Texas Agency Network, with evaluation weighted toward past performance and experience (45%), technical approach (40%), and account organization (15%); the County of Santa Clara issued an RFQ on June 9, 2026 (due June 17, 2026) for Motorola radios and accessories for the Office of the Sheriff; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison posted an RFB on March 16, 2026 (due April 9, 2026) for dish antenna repairs. Respondents to the Texas DIR procurement must demonstrate good-faith subcontracting effort toward VetHUB-certified vendors, comply with WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 accessibility standards, and provide firm, fixed pricing aligned to published commercial rates, with DIR recovering administrative costs through a 2.00% fee and waiver of activation and termination fees requested.
