NIGP 19517: Clocks, Battery Operated (see 195-80 for Wall Type)

NIGP 19517 Clocks, Battery Operated is an Item code under which state and local governments procure battery-powered timekeeping devices and related repair or rehabilitation services. Recent solicitations show demand for both clock rehabilitation work and technology parts and equipment that include timing components as part of broader technology infrastructure contracts. The issuing bodies span municipal governments and large county school districts, reflecting diverse use cases from historical public facilities to modern operational infrastructure.

The Town of Berlin, Massachusetts posted an IFB (sealed bid) in September 2026 for rehabilitation of the First Parish Town Clock, with response due September 30, 2026, encompassing all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, and rigging for the clock restoration project. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government, Virginia jointly solicited an RFP in August 2026 (response due September 8, 2026) to establish a term contract for technology parts, equipment, and labor across both entities' operations, with place of performance spanning Fairfax County. Activity appears concentrated in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions based on these recent postings, though the code's presence in both a specialized municipal restoration project and a broad technology parts procurement suggests varied geographic and sectoral uptake.
