NIGP 20710: Batteries, Computer and Peripheral

NIGP 20710 Batteries, Computer and Peripheral, an Item code, covers battery and power system components—including UPS batteries, battery load testing, battery replacement services, and computer peripheral power banks—that state and local governments procure to support critical infrastructure, data center operations, and technology deployments across agencies and school districts. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting for UPS system batteries and battery replacement labor at health and human services facilities, battery load testing at electric generation and distribution stations, preventative maintenance and emergency response services for backup power systems at critical communications infrastructure, and bulk battery kits for school district technology fleets.

Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies, county governments, city utilities, school districts, and special-purpose districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Chatham County (Georgia), the City of Tallahassee (Florida), Barrow County School District (Georgia), Tacoma School District (Washington), Houston County School District (Georgia), and Hillsborough County (Florida) all posted solicitations under this code between January and June 2026. State-level activity appears in Illinois (emergency management procurement for nuclear generating station UPS systems). Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast—particularly Georgia and Florida—and the Pacific Northwest, with Texas and Illinois also showing recent activity. Representative opportunities include Texas HHS's IFB HHS0017413 for battery and capacitor replacement services at the Texas Medicaid and Healthcare Partnership facility, due June 9, 2026, covering supply and labor for 656 batteries across four UPS systems; Chatham County's ITB 26-0065-2 for preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency support for UPS systems at three radio tower locations, due June 19, 2026; the City of Tallahassee's IFB 076-26-RM for battery load testing at 23 substations and two generating stations under IEEE standards, due June 16, 2026; Barrow County School District's RFP for 125 Jar Systems USB-C Power Bank Kits (500 total batteries), due June 15, 2026; and Tacoma School District's reissued RFP26018A for E-Rate-funded UPS equipment including 75 units across three Eaton models plus installation and training, due April 1, 2026.
