NIGP 17549: Interval Timers and Actuators, Electrical and Mechanical

NIGP 17549 Interval Timers and Actuators, Electrical and Mechanical (Item) encompasses electrical and mechanical control devices—including proprietary actuator systems, switchgear components, protective relays, and related instrumentation—that state and local governments buy for water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, facility electrical upgrades, and equipment standardization. Recent solicitations show school districts, county utilities, municipalities, and special-purpose authorities purchasing these components as parts of larger electrical system replacements, valve automation retrofits, and treatment plant modernizations. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026 (due July 1, 2026) for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services; Orange County, Florida solicited sealed bids for Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical and mechanical upgrades including switchgear, generator systems, and instrumentation through IFB Y26-604 (due April 30, 2026); and the City of Plant City, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source REXA Actuators for wastewater treatment plant valve control replacement (IFB 26-038UM-NOI, April 14, 2026). The market draws buyers from school districts, county utilities departments, municipal water and wastewater authorities, and regional treatment facilities across multiple states.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County, Plant City, Palm Bay) and extends into Texas (Northside ISD, San Antonio), Georgia (Gwinnett County water utility for slide gate procurement; Georgia World Congress Center Authority for electrical master planning), and New Jersey (County of Bergen cooperative purchasing agreement for electrical supplies and equipment through the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, due May 7, 2026). Gwinnett County's IFB PE77023NONST2026000000496 (due May 1, 2026) procured 108-inch slide gates for the Lanier Filter Plant with approved manufacturers including Rodney Hunt Co., H. Fontaine Ltd., HydroGate Corp., Waterman, and BNW Zero-Leakage. County of Bergen's cooperative agreement (BCBID2628, due May 7, 2026) established a twenty-four-month contract with two optional twelve-month renewals and explicitly encourages MBE, WBE, VBE, and SBE participation. Recent opportunities reflect capital-renewal and infrastructure-upgrade cycles at water treatment and wastewater reclamation facilities, with contract values ranging from the City of Plant City's $29,580.00 REXA actuator system to Orange County's significantly larger electrical facility modernization and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's $12 million total project budget for electrical systems replacement master planning and Phase 1 construction.
