NIGP 28030: Control Cables and Wires, Solid and Stranded, Single and Multiconductor (Up to 600V, for Use in Boiler Controls, Fire Alarms, Motors, etc.)

NIGP 28030 Control Cables and Wires, Solid and Stranded, Single and Multiconductor (Up To 600V, For Use In Boiler Controls, Fire Alarms, Motors, Etc.), an Item code, covers control and signal cables that state and local governments procure primarily for traffic signals, fire alarm systems, building automation, and electrical infrastructure maintenance. Recent state and local opportunities show strong demand for traffic signal cables (the dominant use case), fire alarm system wiring and panel connectivity, and structured cabling for low-voltage applications across municipal facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span Texas transportation and municipal departments (TxDOT, City of Austin), Florida counties and cities (Orange County, City of Sebastian, Broward County, Clay County), Georgia counties and school districts (Gwinnett County, Pinellas County Schools, Fulton County), Massachusetts municipal utilities and housing authorities, California cities and special districts, and multi-facility service contracts for water management districts, corrections systems, and transit authorities. The code sees consistent, geographically dispersed activity across multiple issuing-body types with no single dominant buyer but standout repeat activity from TxDOT and the City of Austin on traffic signal cable procurement.

Recent representative opportunities include TxDOT's Fort Worth District solicitation 601310000103309 for traffic signal cable (IFB, response due October 7, 2026); City of Austin IFQ 6200 AJC 1026 for various traffic signal cables including 5-conductor, 7-conductor, coax, and twisted-pair types (response due October 23, 2026); Orange County, Florida ITB Y26-718 for building automation and fire alarm system air duct accessories at a correctional facility (estimated value $2.89 million, responses due October 20, 2026); Ontario International Airport Authority IFB 2026IFB086 for campus-wide fire alarm system replacement and retrofit across 29 facilities (response due October 26, 2026); and Pinellas County School District ITB 26-CD-035 for boiler replacement including hydronic controls and direct digital control wiring at Palm Harbor University High School (estimated $250,000, responses due September 23, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California with significant secondary activity in Massachusetts, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Traffic signal cable dominates the recent pipeline; fire alarm system upgrades and replacements generate sustained demand; and broader building automation and HVAC control applications round out the scope, with most opportunities posted in late August through October 2026.
