NIGP 29086: Solar Radiant Flux Measuring Instruments (see Also 220-33)

NIGP 29086 Solar Radiant Flux Measuring Instruments, an Item code, encompasses the equipment and services state and local governments procure to install, maintain, monitor, and support solar photovoltaic systems across municipal facilities and infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying design and engineering services for solar canopy systems, comprehensive solar PV installation and ongoing maintenance contracts with 24/7 standby response capabilities, inverter and optimizer equipment for solar arrays, and full-lifecycle solar energy initiatives from site assessment through decommissioning. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city engineering departments, county facilities management divisions, and municipal procurement offices; Georgia jurisdictions—the City of South Fulton, Fayette County, and Cobb County—appear as repeat buyers of solar infrastructure services and design work within the past four months.
