NIGP 20424: Controllers, Programmable: Industrial Control Devices, Robots, etc.

NIGP 20424 Controllers, Programmable: Industrial Control Devices, Robots, Etc., Item code, encompasses supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, programmable logic controller (PLC) replacements, building automation system (BAS) maintenance, and industrial control modernization for water, wastewater, facilities, and infrastructure operations. State and local governments procure SCADA upgrades to replace obsolete general electric iFix systems with Schneider Electric AVEVA Wonderware or equivalent platforms, PLC replacements using Schneider Electric M580 or Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platforms, BAS preventive maintenance and emergency repair services with response-time guarantees, and comprehensive system integration including network upgrades, operator interface terminals, factory acceptance testing, and staff training. The code also captures on-call emergency response contracts for water treatment plant and wastewater lift station control systems, lift station control panel design and manufacturing, and SCADA-enabled telemetry and remote monitoring infrastructure across distributed municipal networks.

Municipal water and wastewater utilities dominate this code's activity, supplemented by state departments managing infrastructure (California Department of Veterans Affairs, Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources), facilities management divisions (Florida Department of Children and Families), county public works and water authorities (Orange County Public Works, Tohopekaliga Water Authority, Eastern Municipal Water District), and city engineering departments (City of Atlanta, City of South Salt Lake, Santa Fe). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for SCADA improvements at Hemphill and Chattahoochee Water Treatment Plants (pre-solicitation conference May 2026, 360-day integration timeline), Salt Lake City's RFP for SCADA and telemetry consulting and on-call services across four water treatment plants and distributed facilities (RFP SLCI26095, June 26, 2026 response deadline, five-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals), the City of Santa Fe's RFP for PLC replacement and SCADA modification at the Buckman Direct Diversion water facility (RFP FY26-RFP-036, best-value evaluation with 35% scope/expertise weighting), and the California Department of Veterans Affairs' RFQ for SCADA maintenance services at the Veterans Home in Yountville (quotes due April 2, 2026, three-year term with one-year extension options, $10,000 fixed quarterly maintenance plus emergency repair rates, California SB/MB set-aside with DVBE preference). Activity concentrates in California, Utah, Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts, with recent solicitations spanning municipal wastewater treatment, water reclamation, lift station modernization, and facility-level building automation upgrades.
