NIGP 19518: Clocks, Electric, Commercial

NIGP 19518 Clocks, Electric, Commercial is an Item code under which state and local governments procure new commercial electric clock systems, clock replacements, and integrated clock network upgrades for schools and government facilities. Recent solicitations show districts and county governments buying synchronized digital clock networks with wireless or networked synchronization capabilities, often bundled with installation, cabling, power supplies, and integration with existing facility management or LAN infrastructure. The work spans full system replacements (removing legacy DC systems and installing modern LED digital clocks across dozens of classrooms and hallways) as well as component upgrades and routine maintenance on clock and alarm systems across multiple facilities.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, with two of three recent opportunities sourced from Michigan public school systems (Center Line Public Schools and Gull Lake Community Schools) and one from a combined school-and-county procurement (Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government in Virginia). The Fairfax County opportunity stands out as a large-scale term contract covering 15 product categories including clocks alongside alarm, phone, and building-system components for 250+ facilities, whereas the Michigan solicitations target specific clock-system projects at individual school sites. Recent activity clusters in Michigan and Virginia. Representative opportunities include Center Line Public Schools' RFQ for school clock systems (due June 15, 2026), Gull Lake Community Schools' RFP for a middle school clock-system upgrade involving 91 digital clocks and networked synchronization (due April 14, 2026), and Fairfax County's IFB for a five-year term contract for technology parts and labor including digital and wall clocks serving 250+ schools and work sites (due April 20, 2026).
