NIGP 19508: Alarm Clocks, Electric and Spring

NIGP 19508 Alarm Clocks, Electric and Spring, an Item code, covers the procurement of timekeeping devices—electric and spring-wound alarm clocks—for use across state and local government operations. State and local governments source these under technology parts and equipment contracts that roll up clock procurement alongside broader IT hardware and labor categories. The issuing bodies span county governments, public school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. Alarm clocks appear as line items within consolidated technology procurement rather than as standalone solicitations, reflecting their modest unit cost and their role as supporting equipment within larger technology refresh or maintenance programs.

Recent opportunities show alarm clock procurement embedded in broader technology parts and equipment term contracts. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government issued RFP 2000004422 in August 2026 (due September 8, 2026) to establish a term contract for technology parts, equipment, and labor across all county and school district departments, with performance in Fairfax County, Virginia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across the United States and Canada, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with thousands of other governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments. The cooperative purchasing vehicle structure demonstrates how alarm clock procurement scales across multi-jurisdiction networks rather than through individual agency buys. Recent activity concentrates in Virginia and the Pacific Northwest, with clock procurement present primarily as a specification line within larger technology or equipment term agreements.
