NIGP 28532: Fluorescent and Hid Lamp Energy Saving Devices

NIGP 28532 Fluorescent and HID Lamp Energy Saving Devices is an Item code encompassing lighting supplies, fixtures, ballasts, and energy efficiency products that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for facilities maintenance and operations. Recent solicitations show school districts, transit authorities, and municipalities purchasing lighting supplies—including fixtures, ballasts, lamps, emergency lighting, lighting controls, and conduit—alongside broader electrical equipment and supplies for districtwide distribution. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Pinellas County School District in Florida), county transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California), and municipalities (City of Charlotte, North Carolina). Contracts are typically blanket-renewal agreements with firm pricing over one- to two-year terms, delivered on an FOB or as-needed basis to multiple districtwide or transit-system locations, with most responses evaluated on lowest-responsive-responsible criteria and requiring all line items to be bid for responsiveness.

Recent activity spans California, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Washington. Orange County Transportation Authority issued RFQ 250386 for lighting supplies with quotes due June 11, 2026, under a $50,000 two-year contract effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, requiring delivery within four days to facilities in Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Irvine.

Most solicitations require commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence), compliance with Florida or state prevailing wage and equal employment opportunity regulations where applicable, and acceptance of purchasing cards.
