NIGP 06037: Electrical Parts (Not Ignition) (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 06037 Electrical Parts (Not Ignition) (Not Otherwise Classified), Item code, encompasses as-needed supplies of electrical fixtures, components, and hardware—including ground rods, metal clad cable, conduit systems, HID and LED ballasts, fuses, connectors, cable ties, heat shrink tubing, switches, and miscellaneous parts—that state and local jurisdictions procure for maintenance, repair, and facility operations across departments and special districts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, cities, independent school districts, transit authorities, water management districts, and state agencies including corrections, environmental service, and higher education. Recent opportunities show school districts and cities as repeat buyers; Columbus Consolidated Government, Northside Independent School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and the City of Palo Alto all posted solicitations within the past three months. Procurement vehicles range from blanket purchase orders and catalog discount contracts to indefinite-quantity agreements, with contract terms typically spanning one to five years and renewal options common.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, California, and Arizona based on recent postings. Representative solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB 27-0012 for electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies (487 line items, due October 28, 2026) under a two-year term with three one-year renewal options; City of Palo Alto's RFQ 198780 for electric parts as needed for stock (35 line items including cable arms, connectors, fuses, and hardware, due August 28, 2026) with one-time purchase pricing effective upon award; and Gwinnett County Public Schools' competitive sealed bid for electrical supplies under catalog discount procurement (due August 21, 2026). The Great Lakes Water Authority in Michigan posted an RFP for recurring preventative maintenance and repair of electrical power equipment across multiple water and wastewater facilities (due June 23, 2026, structured as two concurrent thirty-six-month contracts). Most contracts award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis, though some jurisdictions use catalog-discount or blanket purchase order structures with percentage discounts off list price. Set-asides and participation goals appear selectively: City Colleges of Chicago applied MBE (25%) and WBE (7%) participation goals on an Electrical Low Voltage Job Order Contract; Hillsborough County Public Schools required Small Business Encouragement Program participation at a minimum 20 percent reinvestment threshold. Delivery windows are typically five to thirty days from order, and most solicitations require proof of liability insurance and state contractor licensing.
