NIGP 28582: Transformer Equipment, Type 1 kVA and Less

NIGP 28582 Transformer Equipment, Type 1 kVa and Less is an Item code under which state and local governments procure single-phase and three-phase transformers, including overhead and underground padmount units, along with associated electrical equipment and power distribution materials for utility operations, water systems, transit facilities, and school district infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code span municipal power departments, county utility systems, independent school districts, water authorities, and state transportation agencies. The City of College Park Power Department, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and Northside Independent School District have posted recent solicitations for transformer equipment and related electrical supplies through ITB, RFP, and IFB notices, signaling continued demand for transformers as components of broader power distribution and infrastructure maintenance contracts.

The City of College Park Power Department issued ITB 27-62 (due August 10, 2026) for single-phase overhead transformers, three-phase underground padmount transformers, lighting poles, and power distribution materials under a one-year term with four renewal options and local preference of up to 3% for businesses with a staffed physical location in the city for at least one year.
