NIGP 20710: Batteries, Computer and Peripheral

NIGP 20710 Batteries, Computer And Peripheral Item code encompasses UPS (uninterruptible power supply) batteries, replacement batteries for portable power systems, and related battery maintenance and testing services for critical infrastructure and district-wide facility operations across state agencies, counties, school districts, and municipalities. The code captures both consumable battery replacement (656-unit UPS battery swaps, vehicle and equipment battery kits) and service contracts combining battery replacement labor, preventive maintenance, emergency response, and professional diagnostics on installed systems.

State health and human services agencies in Texas drive significant recent activity, alongside county governments, school districts, and municipal utilities. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple iterations of battery and capacitor replacement solicitations (IFB HHS0017413 versions across June, August, and October 2026) for UPS systems at the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership facility in Austin, with responses due June 9, August 28 (revised to October 21 after addendum), and September 11, 2026. L'Anse Creuse Public Schools in Michigan and a second Macomb County, Michigan school district both solicited district-wide UPS replacement equipment and installation (RFPs due October 30 and October 23, 2026), while Waukesha County, Wisconsin requested UPS and battery maintenance, replacement, and repair services across multiple county locations (RFQ due October 6, 2026). Chatham County, Georgia issued two identical solicitations for preventive maintenance and 24/7 emergency services on UPS systems supporting radio tower communications infrastructure (ITB 26-0065-2, bids due June 19, 2026), the City of Tallahassee, Florida solicited battery load testing for electric generation and substations (IFB 076-26-RM, bids due June 16, 2026), and Sarasota County requested AED battery replacements (RFQ due August 21, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Florida, with additional school-district procurement in Georgia (Barrow County ordered Jar Systems USB-C battery kits, bids due June 15, 2026) and state-level solicitation in Illinois for a 15 kVA UPS system with battery capacity at nuclear generating stations (bids due May 1, 2026).
