NIGP 28572: Resistors (Non-Electronic)

NIGP 28572 Resistors (Non-Electronic), an Item code, encompasses resistor components purchased by state and local governments for electrical infrastructure, facility upgrades, and transit operations. The solicitations under this code reflect actual procurement of discrete resistor units—such as the neutral grounding resistor replacements specified in Orange County's water reclamation facility electrical upgrades and the specific frame-model resistor (1654E46G01) sought by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority—rather than resistor assemblies or integrated electrical systems. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, county governments, transit authorities, and municipal utilities. Northside Independent School District in Texas issued an IFB for electrical equipment parts and supplies (including resistors as component inventory), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida procured Schneider brand electrical components for SCADA control panels, and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a competitive bid for a single resistor unit. Activity reflects routine capital maintenance, facility upgrades, and standardized component replacement across jurisdictions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with recent solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County (Tampa area), and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, alongside an Orange County, Florida water treatment facility upgrade (IFB Y26-604, due April 30, 2026). A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) extended to Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), though that solicitation addressed broader equipment categories beyond resistors. Recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County ITB for Schneider electrical components (ITB2600277, due June 18, 2026, estimated at $519,787.19 over two years), Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical parts and supplies (IFB2026098, due July 1, 2026), and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's competitive bid for resistor frame 1654E46G01 (Solicitation 2099008, due June 12, 2026). Activity is moderate and project-driven rather than continuous-procurement focused.
