NIGP 22014: Energy Computerized Control Systems for HVAC, Lighting, Utilities, etc. Combination

NIGP 22014 Energy Computerized Control Systems For HVAC, Lighting, Utilities, Etc. Combination is an Item code under which state and local governments procure comprehensive building management system maintenance, repairs, direct digital control (DDC) system installations, building automation system upgrades and replacements, HVAC controls integration, and related technical support services. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying routine preventive maintenance and emergency repairs on existing BMS infrastructure, system replacements with modern controls (particularly Siemens, Johnson Controls, Compass Controls, and Niagara platforms), HVAC terminal unit replacements, chiller and boiler plant upgrades with integrated controls, and specialized services such as energy recovery ventilator repair, fire/smoke damper control integration, and commissioning. Counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and public universities drive the demand; Florida school districts (Pinellas County, Sarasota County, DeKalb County, Cherokee County) and Orange County, Florida appear as repeat buyers with multiple open opportunities spanning building automation, HVAC controls, chiller plant upgrades, and facility-wide BAS replacements. The County of San Mateo Department of Public Works issued an RFP (due October 30, 2026) for comprehensive BMS maintenance, repairs, and technical support across county-owned facilities, structured as a five-year contract with performance metrics and service-level agreements. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB (due October 20, 2026, estimated $2.89 million) for building automation system replacement and smoke control integration at a corrections facility, including Johnson Controls Metasys controls and UL-864 compliant systems. Sacramento County Department of General Services issued an ITB (due October 22, 2026, estimated $2.01 million) for HVAC controller replacement with DDC system integration and Siemens BAS coordination at a youth detention facility. A second Orange County RFP (due September 15, 2026, estimated design $4.65 million, estimated construction $51.84 million) seeks a Construction Manager at Risk for Convention Center West Building BAS and HVAC upgrades including unified BAS front-end system conversion and BAC net protocol integration across food service, exhibit halls, and concourses.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, and Michigan, with secondary volume in Arizona, Connecticut, Texas, and Wisconsin. School districts pursuing chiller replacements, terminal unit upgrades, and controls modernization appear across Florida (Pinellas, DeKalb) and Georgia; municipal facilities management departments and corrections authorities are pursuing integrated DDC replacements and building-wide BAS upgrades to legacy systems. The code sees sustained pursuit from design-build and CMAR service models alongside traditional IFB and RFP structures, with response deadlines typically 30–45 days from posting and contract values ranging from under $500,000 for targeted controls work to over $50 million for major central-plant and building-wide BAS modernization projects. Performance bonds, prevailing wage compliance, insurance minimums (typically $1 million general liability), commissioning and training requirements, and one-year warranties are standard procurement features.
