NIGP 28742: Microprocessors (Cpu Chips, etc.)

NIGP 28742 Microprocessors (CPU Chips, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses semiconductor processing units and related chipsets that state and local governments procure as components within larger systems and equipment. Recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand primarily through cooperative purchasing frameworks serving law enforcement and public safety modernization initiatives, where microprocessors form embedded technology within equipment systems rather than as standalone commodity purchases.
