NIGP 28583: Towers, Light

NIGP 28583 Towers, Light (Item) encompasses the procurement of portable and stationary light towers, tower decommissioning and transfer services, and associated equipment transfer and removal work. State and local governments purchase this equipment for temporary construction site illumination, maintenance operations, emergency response, and public works projects. Recent solicitations show a mix of direct equipment procurement—school districts and educational service districts buying portable construction and maintenance equipment—and specialized tower services including decommissioning, antenna transfer, and obsolete equipment removal from county radio installations. The issuing bodies range from county governments handling radio infrastructure to school districts and educational service cooperatives procuring general portable equipment for operational support.

Activity under this code spans multiple states and regions. Ozaukee County, Wisconsin recently issued an IFB for radio tower decommissioning and equipment transfer at its Mee-Kwon County Park site, with sealed bids due August 20, 2026 and work required to commence by September 1, 2026 and substantially complete by December 31, 2026, with $500 per day liquidated damages for missed deadlines.
