About NIGP 280
NIGP 280 Electrical Cable and Wire, Not Electronic is a Class code under which state and local governments procure copper and fiber optic cables, conduits, connectors, wire terminals, and related electrical materials for infrastructure, facility maintenance, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show demand spanning municipal electric utilities, school districts, county governments, community colleges, and transit authorities, with work ranging from bulk material purchases to specialized applications such as low-voltage cabling systems, fiber optic installations, and equipment-specific procurement tied to standardized utility and infrastructure protocols.
Issuing bodies include electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Parkway School District), county departments (Harris County, Los Alamos County, Hillsborough County), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), colleges (Texas A&M University, Mt. Hood Community College), and municipalities (City of Palo Alto, Boulder County). Representative recent opportunities include Harris County Precinct 3's ITB for electrical parts and related items on an as-needed basis due October 26, 2026; Lubbock Power & Light's quote request for 350 KCM copper cable and anchor rods due July 15, 2026; Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services due July 1, 2026; and Hillsborough County's five-year ITB for low-voltage cabling services (estimated value $9,213,350.00) due May 29, 2026. Geographic activity spans Texas, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, California, and New Mexico, with particular concentration in Texas municipal utilities and school district procurements. Pricing structures vary widely—some solicitations use percentage discounts off list price or per-foot labor rates, others employ competitive quote processes with delivery and lead time as deciding factors. Set-asides and prevailing wage requirements appear in union jurisdictions and federally funded projects but are not universal across the code.
