NIGP 99270: Radar Equipment Testing and Calibration Services

NIGP 99270 Radar Equipment Testing and Calibration Services, an Item code, encompasses procurement of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) equipment and related detection systems by state and local jurisdictions. The scope of work centers on acquisition of portable GPR units and authorized service relationships for subsurface utility location, infrastructure assessment, and related diagnostic applications. Issuing bodies under this code include city governments and municipal enterprises, particularly departments managing water, utilities, and infrastructure assets. The City of Orlando's Water Reclamation Enterprises Department is a representative buyer in this space.

The City of Orlando issued a sole-source notice (S26-0517) on July 2, 2026, for purchase of an LMX100 Portable GPR unit from Green Equipment Company, with a response deadline of July 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Green Equipment Company holds authorization as the exclusive factory-authorized distributor and service facility for Radiodetection and Sensors and Software branded GPR systems across Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Alabama, with the authorization valid through December 31, 2026. The sole-source designation permits competing suppliers to submit alternative product information and qualifications within the seven-calendar-day posting window. No contract value, term, or evaluation criteria were specified in the notice. Recent activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central states, driven primarily by municipal water and utilities departments.
