NIGP 19580: Wall Clocks, Battery

NIGP 19580 Wall Clocks, Battery is an Item code encompassing battery-operated wall clocks procured by state and local jurisdictions for facility operations, administrative offices, and institutional settings. The code captures a narrow commodity line: timing devices intended for indoor wall mounting that do not require hardwired electrical service. State and local governments use these clocks in schools, courthouses, administrative buildings, transit facilities, and other public spaces where reliable timekeeping and visibility across a room are operational requirements. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, and municipal departments; recent solicitations reflect joint procurement by multiple agencies within the same jurisdiction to achieve economies of scale on common facility equipment.

Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government issued a joint RFP (Solicitation 2000004422) on August 14, 2026, soliciting proposals for a term contract covering technology parts, equipment, and labor to serve all departments and activities of both entities, with a response deadline of September 8, 2026. Place of performance is Fairfax County, Virginia. This represents the primary recent activity visible under the code; the bundling of battery-operated wall clocks with broader technology parts and equipment procurement suggests end-user departments purchase these items as part of larger facility or IT refresh initiatives rather than through standalone commodity RFQs.
