NIGP 28550: Lamps: Fluorescent, Incandescent, Mercury Vapor, Quartz, and Sodium Vapor

NIGP 28550 Lamps: Fluorescent, Incandescent, Mercury Vapor, Quartz, and Sodium Vapor is an Item code covering the purchase and rental of lighting fixtures, LED bulbs, specialty lamps, and related electrical components for municipal, county, school district, and transit authority infrastructure—including street lighting, holiday decorative lighting, parking and facility illumination, and replacement of failed units at ports and utilities. State and local buyers under this code procure both capital equipment (LED floodlights, fixtures, poles, and electrical boxes for permanent installations) and consumables (individual bulbs and lamps on as-needed supply contracts), as well as ancillary services including installation, removal, maintenance, and warranty support. Recent activity reflects a shift toward LED technology across decorative, functional, and specialized applications.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cities (Frisco, Houston, Buckeye, South Jordan, Tucson), counties (Broward, Yuma, Orange, Milwaukee, Tarrant), school districts (Parkway, Northside Independent), state agencies (Illinois ALPLM cooperative), special districts (Kansas Turnpike Authority), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional demand. The geographic spread includes Texas (Frisco, Houston, Buckeye, Tarrant County, Northside ISD), Arizona (Yuma, Buckeye), Florida (Broward County Port Everglades), California (Orange County), Utah (South Jordan), Wisconsin (Milwaukee County), Kansas (Turnpike Authority), and Illinois, with activity concentrated in Southwest and Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions.
