NIGP 28726: Circuit Cards

NIGP 28726 Circuit Cards, an Item code, covers discrete electronic components and subassemblies that state and local governments procure as parts of larger law enforcement, telecommunications, and infrastructure systems. Recent solicitation activity shows these components being bundled into broader equipment or cabling procurement frameworks rather than purchased standalone; the code appears primarily as a constituent element within multi-component systems rather than as a discrete line item.

State and local buying under this code flows through cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional procurement consortia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities spanning Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, with the resulting contracts available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities throughout the United States and Canada (response due June 16, 2026). The State of Texas Department of Information Resources issued RFO COOP2026SOL-00008 in March 2026 for Cabling Services and Related Products, encompassing fiber optic cables, cable accessories, and related components available through DIR's cooperative contracts program to state agencies, local governments, and institutions of higher education (RFO response due June 12, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Washington state and Texas, with cooperative purchasing structures creating statewide and multistate reach. Set-asides and accessibility compliance (VPAT forms) feature prominently in the Texas solicitation; the Sourcewell opportunity does not specify disadvantaged enterprise restrictions or award values. Activity under this code remains light relative to broader NIGP classes, suggesting circuit cards function as specification elements within larger procurements rather than driving independent buying cycles.
