NIGP 28552: Lamps: Portable, Shop, and Work Site

NIGP 28552 Lamps: Portable, Shop, and Work Site is an Item code under which state and local governments procure portable lighting equipment and related electrical supplies for operational and maintenance use across multiple departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show this code capturing a portion of broader electrical equipment and supplies contracts where portable work lights, shop lamps, and task lighting are bundled with other electrical inventory — the Northside Independent School District's June 2026 IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services (IFB2026098, due July 1, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's July 2025 procurement for electrical parts and supplies (IFB26FMD012) both encompass portable and work-site lighting as line items within larger electrical inventory frameworks. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, municipal public works departments, and transit authorities; the scope reflects day-to-day operational needs rather than capital equipment purchases, with vendors expected to supply products from established manufacturers and maintain local inventory for rapid delivery.

Geographic activity spans Texas and Arizona in the most recent opportunities, with Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) extending the market reach across Washington state and multiple participating jurisdictions nationwide. The mix of issuing bodies — school districts, cities, and transit systems — suggests portable lighting procurement is distributed across maintenance and facilities operations rather than concentrated in a single sector. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's standing requirement for replacement of an expiring electrical contract with mandatory vendor participation to retain future business, and Phoenix Public Works' structured three-year term (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, with two optional one-year extensions) requiring local stocking distributors capable of 48-hour delivery and walk-in counter service within a 25-mile radius of central Phoenix, with single whole-number percentage discounts off manufacturer price lists.
