NIGP 19519: Clocks, Electronic

NIGP 19519 Electronic Clocks, Item code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Cache County School District's IFB CCSD-IFB020526, due February 5, 2026—solicits a 1600A Service Entrance Switchboard upgrade for Millville Elementary School, which is electrical distribution and service-entrance equipment, not electronic timekeeping or clock systems. The solicitation specifies manufacturers (ABB, Eaton, Schneider Electric, or Siemens), technical voltage and amperage configurations, NEMA enclosure ratings, and UL listing requirements typical of electrical infrastructure procurement, not the scope electronic clocks would cover. The misclassification suggests either a data entry error in how the opportunity was tagged or a fundamental scope mismatch between the NIGP code definition and this particular buying instance.

No representative opportunities in the source reflect genuine electronic clock procurement. Vendors pursuing activity under NIGP 19519 should verify the actual commodity classification of opportunities before bid preparation, particularly when school districts and other educational entities post notices. The single example here underscores the risk of relying on posted NIGP tags without confirming alignment between the code and the statement of work or technical specifications.
