NIGP 28502: Analyzer, Electric Power Demand

NIGP 28502 Analyzer, Electric Power Demand is an Item code covering specialized analytical equipment that state and local governments procure for utility operations, environmental monitoring, and infrastructure management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring moisture analyzers for wastewater treatment, mercury analyzers for water quality monitoring, high-power device analyzers for university research and testing, and electrical equipment diagnostics equipment for school district maintenance operations. The issuing bodies span state universities, municipal water and transportation departments, county utilities, independent school districts, and transit authorities. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle sourced law enforcement equipment analyzers on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and thousands of public entities nationwide, while single-jurisdiction solicitations came from the City of Fort Worth, City of Orlando, Texas State University, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and Broward County.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. The City of Fort Worth issued an RFQt for a Cold Vapor Atomic Absorbance mercury analyzer for wastewater testing (due February 25, 2026); the City of Orlando posted a sole-source notice for a CEM Smart6 moisture analyzer with iPower microwave drying technology for wastewater solids analysis (due May 4, 2026); Texas State University requested proposals for a high-power device analyzer (due February 27, 2026); and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026). Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment opened to Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state with a June 16, 2026 proposal deadline. Equipment specifications in recent solicitations emphasize EPA-method compliance, proprietary microwave or atomic absorbance technology, automated sampling and reporting capabilities, and integration with existing software platforms; most contracts bundle equipment procurement with one-year warranty and annual maintenance agreements.
