NIGP 28507: Bulb and Fixture, Changer/Remover

NIGP 28507 Bulb and Fixture, Changer/Remover is an Item code that covers lighting supplies and electrical equipment delivered on an as-needed basis to state and local facilities—including general lighting fixtures, bulbs, and related supplies for transit authorities, school districts, and municipal operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), cities (Charlotte), and counties participating in cooperative purchasing arrangements through entities like Sourcewell. Recent opportunities show straightforward supply agreements: Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ for lighting supplies carries a $50,000 budget over two years with four-day delivery requirements to its Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Irvine facilities; Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (replacing an expiring contract) covers sealed-bid procurement with shipping to San Antonio; and Orange County Transportation Authority's earlier RFQ for industrial electrical supplies (with a $10,000 budget) required firm pricing with no escalation permitted and four-day delivery windows to two facilities in Garden Grove and Santa Ana.

Geographic activity centers on California (Orange County Transportation Authority appears as a repeat buyer with multiple solicitations) and Texas (Northside Independent School District). A broader cooperative procurement through Sourcewell—RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment—encompasses Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, with participation available to jurisdictions nationwide. Recent opportunities typically demand new, unopened supplies; firm, fixed pricing with no increases; standard commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence minimum); compliance with Ukraine/Russia economic sanctions certifications; and delivery within four calendar days during business hours. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm on a lump-sum basis without further discussion in most cases.
