NIGP 28065: Submarine Wire and Cable

NIGP 28065 Submarine Wire And Cable, an Item code, encompasses electrical cabling and related products for subsurface applications. Based on recent state and local solicitation activity, the code captures a broader range of electrical equipment procurement than the legacy NIGP title suggests — state and local jurisdictions are sourcing electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services through this code, with wire and cable as a core component of those offerings. Issuing bodies under this code include independent school districts managing facility maintenance and upgrade contracts.

Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026, seeking sealed bids for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a response deadline of July 1, 2026. The District emphasized that all incumbent and prospective vendors must respond to the new solicitation or risk losing future business, as the IFB replaces the expiring contract 2025-100. All proposals must include shipping and handling costs to the District's San Antonio location. Activity under this code remains limited in the recent-opportunities record; Texas represents the only jurisdiction with current visible solicitation activity.
