NIGP 28565: Ignition, Starting Aid, High Pressure Sodium, All Types

NIGP 28565 Ignition, Starting Aid, High Pressure Sodium, All Types is an Item code covering electrical ignition and starting equipment, including high-pressure sodium fixtures and related controls. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through equipment and parts solicitations bundled into broader electrical supply and maintenance contracts, rather than as standalone ignition-specific buys. Recent activity shows this code appearing within larger electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and repair RFQs and IFBs that serve water utilities, school districts, and transit authorities. The issuing bodies span municipal water districts, independent school districts, city transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell. Scope varies from emergency-response electrical components embedded in law enforcement equipment catalogs to motor control centers and high-voltage starting equipment for utility booster stations and facility infrastructure.

Recent representative opportunities include Eastern Municipal Water District's RFB RFBHH3957 for two Motor Control Centers (due August 11, 2026) at Riverside County booster stations, Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026) in San Antonio, Texas, and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) spanning multiple Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide. A City of Charlotte RFP for cameras and access control maintenance (due March 12, 2026) for Charlotte Area Transit System demonstrates how ignition and control-related electrical components integrate into broader facility and vehicle systems. Geographic spread includes California (Riverside County), Texas (San Antonio), Washington state (multiple counties), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing reaching throughout the United States. Activity is sparse under this specific code—most procurement bundles ignition and starting equipment within general electrical equipment, parts, and repair categories rather than soliciting them separately.
