NIGP 28755: Power Supplies (Not Computer Room)

NIGP 28755 Power Supplies (Not Computer Room), an Item code, covers backup and distribution power equipment that state and local governments procure for facility operations, industrial systems, and infrastructure—including AC/DC converters for SCADA lift-station controls, diesel and propane generators for correctional facilities, power distribution panels for convention centers, and bus chargers for transit fleets. Recent solicitations show demand across water resources departments, corrections, transit authorities, and facilities management, with issuing bodies ranging from county commissions to municipal transit agencies to state agencies. The City of Austin, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Maryland Environmental Service (on behalf of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services), and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority have all posted opportunities in the past 90 days. Work spans routine replacement of standardized components under two-year supply contracts to major capital installations requiring engineering and federal compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County) and extends across Texas (Austin), Maryland, Georgia, and Utah. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Austin IFB5600DCG1036 (Station Alerting Audio Parts, due July 14, 2026) seeking amplifiers, speakers, brackets, and backup power supplies for station alerting systems under a blanket purchase agreement; Hillsborough County ITB2600117 (Weidmuller Power Supply, due February 18, 2026) for 250-watt AC/DC converters supporting SCADA lift-station operations, with project estimate of $39,959.40; and Park City Municipal Corporation RFP PCMC26092TRA (Battery Electric Bus Charger Installation, due February 27, 2026) requiring construction services to install five 150kW bus chargers at a transit facility under federal FTA funding with Davis-Bacon and Buy America Act compliance. The code also captures specialized procurement such as the Georgia World Congress Center Authority RFQ PE92200RFQ2026000000076 for 189 units of power distribution panels and cam-lock turnarounds for a convention center exhibit hall (due March 31, 2026). No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions appear across these solicitations, though some jurisdictions apply small-business preferences and require M/WBE outreach documentation.
