NIGP 28588: Tube Guard and Safety Sleeves (for Fluorescent Fixtures)

NIGP 28588 Tube Guard and Safety Sleeves (For Fluorescent Fixtures), an Item code, covers protective sleeves and guards for fluorescent light fixtures that state and local governments procure as part of broader electrical equipment and supplies contracts. The code sits within routine facilities maintenance and safety equipment purchasing, appearing alongside general electrical parts, rentals, repairs, and related services in consolidated solicitations from school districts and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple public jurisdictions.

State and local government buyers under this code include independent school districts and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services, with bids due July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent and prospective vendors to respond or forfeit future business with the district. Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment to serve participating entities across Washington state and throughout the United States and Canada, with proposals due June 16, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Recent activity shows procurement occurring in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with cooperative purchasing vehicles expanding reach across multiple states and public entity types including school districts, counties, and tribal governments.
