NIGP 98547: Intercom and Other Sound Equipment Rental or Lease

NIGP 98547 Intercom and Other Sound Equipment Rental or Lease, an Item code, covers audio and intercom equipment provided on a rental or lease basis to state and local government agencies for events, facilities, and district-wide operations. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code encompasses audio/visual rental equipment and services, intercom systems, sound reinforcement gear, and related technical support for temporary or ongoing use by public entities. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring equipment and services to support district-wide events, conferences, and facility needs on an as-needed basis. The work typically flows through multi-year agreements with renewal options, allowing jurisdictions to draw equipment and support as operational requirements emerge.

Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP (SW250418) on September 20, 2026, requesting proposals for audio/visual rental equipment and services as part of a broader events and multimedia procurement, with responses due October 22, 2026. The contract term runs three years with two successive one-year renewal options (maximum five years total), with payment on net 30 terms. Dallas ISD established an aspirational SBE goal of 30 percent of total contract dollar value, with SBE scoring accounting for up to 20 percentage points of the evaluation. Recent activity under the code concentrates in Texas, with Dallas ISD representing a standout repeat buyer for district-wide A/V and rental services.
