NIGP 20668: Power Supplies and Power Related Parts, Internal

NIGP 20668 Power Supplies and Power Related Parts, Internal is an Item code covering power distribution and management equipment that state and local governments procure for data centers, infrastructure systems, and operational facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for rack-mounted power distribution units (PDUs) compatible with specific equipment standards, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for critical infrastructure, and power-related components integrated into broader technology or communications systems. State departments, counties, municipalities, and public universities are active buyers under this code. The California Department of Technology issued a brand-specific RFB for APC-compatible PDUs for Data Center 1 infrastructure (RFB-IS-27200179, due September 22, 2026), and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority sought bids for UPS replacement units across transit stations (ITB-26-004, due June 4, 2026), illustrating the range of government facilities relying on internal power infrastructure procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also extending reach across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Philadelphia procured Apple iPad equipment and warranty services (RFQ B2627319, due June 8, 2026), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an RFB for electronic supplies (RFB 2026-UWMSN-01258-RFB, due July 22, 2026), demonstrating that power supply components often appear as subordinate line items within larger technology or equipment acquisitions rather than as standalone procurements. Harris County's ITB for two-way radio antennas, towers, and power supplies (ITB 260068, due June 22, 2026) shows power supplies bundled with communications infrastructure. Response deadlines across recent opportunities cluster in the June–September 2026 window, indicating current market activity.
