NIGP 28549: Lamps, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 28549 Lamps, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure LED, incandescent, HPS, metal halide, CFL, and specialty lamps for facility maintenance, lighting system upgrades, and specialized applications such as perimeter security and theatrical use. Recent solicitations show school districts, county sheriff departments, state corrections agencies, municipal transit authorities, state departments of transportation, and city facilities departments acquiring lamp inventory on standing-supply or project-specific bases, with mixed purchasing patterns ranging from single-unit commodity buys to comprehensive lighting conversion scopes that bundle lamps with fixtures, ballasts, controls, and installation labor.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with San Antonio Independent School District posting five separate continuous, open-ended RFPs for general maintenance parts and supplies (including lamps as line items within broader scopes) between February and July 2026, while Pinellas County School District, Northside Independent School District, Cherokee County School District, and Granite School District each issued discrete lighting or electrical procurement solicitations in the same window. County-level buyers include Orange County, California (Sheriff-Coroner Department), requesting industrial lighting supplies and equipment through an IFB with a three-year term and $900,000 contract ceiling, and state buyers span correctional systems (Missouri Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections), wildlife management (State of Utah Division of Purchasing for UV components), and transportation (Florida Department of Transportation, Caltrans). Cities and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, City of Springfield, City of Scottsdale, City of Philadelphia) round out the issuing-body mix. Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas (San Antonio district postings), California (Orange County, Caltrans), Florida (state DOT, Missouri corrections), Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and Utah, with activity spread across spring and early summer 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department IFB for comprehensive industrial lighting supplies with fixtures, lamps, ballasts, drivers, and emergency lighting due August 15, 2026 (corrected from initially posted April 27 deadline); the Illinois Department of Corrections ITB for Lithonia LED perimeter lighting and electrical components at Pontiac Correctional Center due June 9, 2026; the Cherokee County School District LED conversion RFP across eleven facilities due February 10, 2026; and the City of Scottsdale IFB for 100 line items of electrical and lighting components due February 26, 2026. Contract values where disclosed range from approximately $300,000 (City of Springfield site lighting) to $900,000 (Orange County three-year lighting supplies), with school district general maintenance scopes structured as needs-based, continuous procurement vehicles with no minimum guarantees.
