NIGP 12013: Battery Boxes and Battery Chargers, Marine

NIGP 12013 Battery Boxes and Battery Chargers, Marine (Item) encompasses equipment and systems that support marine vessel electrical infrastructure and power management, though the recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on discrete marine equipment acquisitions rather than dedicated battery-management product lines. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county governments and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles. Chatham County, Georgia issued a competitive bid in March 2026 for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for marine patrol operations, representing a direct procurement of marine propulsion equipment by a county marine division. Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an RFB in June 2026 for comprehensive repairs, redevelopment, and improvements at Knights Marina and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, encompassing labor, materials, equipment, and services across multiple marina assets and requiring qualified, licensed contractors capable of executing marine construction work.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with documented recent solicitations from Florida and Georgia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states including Washington jurisdictions (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and entities throughout the United States and Canada, though this cooperative procurement does not explicitly identify battery or marine-equipment specifications in available documentation. The Chatham County outboard-motor procurement closed May 4, 2026 (IFB); the Clay County marina RFB closed July 6, 2026; and the Sourcewell Law Enforcement Equipment RFP closed June 16, 2026. None of the recent opportunities identify incumbent vendors, contract values, set-asides, or local-vendor preferences in available materials.
