NIGP 28726: Circuit Cards

NIGP 28726 Circuit Cards, an Item code, covers electronic circuit components and assemblies that state and local governments procure as standalone parts or integrated into larger electronic and telecommunications infrastructure projects. State and local buyers under this code acquire circuit cards, circuit boards, and related electronic components primarily through equipment, parts, and services solicitations that bundle cards with installation, maintenance, repair, and related infrastructure work. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, state information technology agencies, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdiction types. School districts solicit circuit cards and electronic parts through sealed-bid processes for equipment and repair services; state IT departments and cooperative purchasing entities procure cards as components within broader cabling, data infrastructure, and technology services contracts; and law enforcement cooperative purchasing programs incorporate electronic components into equipment suites for broad public-sector use.

Recent activity centers in Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with the most substantial opportunity in a Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) indefinite-quantity cooperative contract (COOP2026SOL-00008, RFO, due September 24, 2026) that encompasses cabling services and related products—including data racks, patch panels, fiber boxes, and connectors—supporting state agencies, local governments, higher education, and K-12 districts across Texas. Historical sales under DIR cabling contracts reached $12.0 million in FY 2025. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio posted a sealed-bid solicitation (IFB2026118, due September 24, 2026) for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, issued an RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington-state counties and broader U.S. public entities. Respondents to the DIR cooperative must hold BICSI RCDD credentials, comply with TIA/EIA and NEC standards, submit mandatory Texas VetHUB subcontracting plans, and provide complete accessibility documentation (VPAT, VADSIR, and Policy Driven Adoption for Accessibility self-assessments) or face automatic evaluation failure.
