About NIGP 28501
NIGP 28501 Automated Meter Reading Systems (AMR), an Item code, encompasses the procurement of AMR hardware, transmission units, replacement equipment, and related installation services that state and local governments deploy to automate water, electric, and utility meter reading. Recent solicitations show purchasing agencies buying meter transmission units compatible with existing systems (such as Aclara RF 3450 units), complete meter replacement with AMR transmitter installation, component parts and software integration for system maintenance, plastic meter boxes and accessories, and meter reader services. Issuing bodies include city utilities departments (Arlington, Bend, Oxford, Philadelphia, Lubbock), county utilities (Seminole County), small municipalities (Puckett, Mississippi), and special districts; school districts and airports also appear in the broader electrical equipment category. The procurement mix spans requirements contracts for services and supplies, sealed-bid construction contracts for large-scale meter replacement projects, price agreements with multi-year terms, and single-source maintenance arrangements with incumbent system vendors. Issuing bodies across this code frequently set insurance requirements, surety bonds, and local business entity certification preferences.
