NIGP 30544: Erasers and Erasing Machines, Electric

NIGP 30544 Erasers and Erasing Machines, Electric is an Item code that covers electric erasers and related erasing equipment used by state and local government offices, schools, and administrative departments. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects actual procurement for office maintenance supplies and equipment repair components rather than traditional erasure devices; the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department's May 2026 IFB for electrical connectors, components, and miscellaneous parts demonstrates that state and local buyers use this code designation for competitive sealed bids acquiring supplies required to maintain and repair communications and electronic equipment across agency operations. Issuing bodies pursuing activity under this code include county law enforcement and public safety departments sourcing parts for radio, audio, and video equipment upkeep on a recurring, as-needed basis with no minimum purchase commitments.

The County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department issued IFB0603029702SC on May 14, 2026, seeking 144 line items of electrical connectors, cable ties, heat shrink tubing, fuses, switches, power supplies, and solders from vendors including Panduit, Thomas & Betts, 3M, and Neutrik; the bid submission deadline was April 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM through the County's eProcurement Portal, with the resulting contract structured as a firm fixed-fee agreement with a three-year initial term renewable for two additional one-year periods. The procurement prioritizes lowest responsive, responsible bid pricing on an FOB destination basis with delivery to the Sheriff-Coroner Department Technology Division in Tustin, California, Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Orange County offers a five percent price preference for certified Orange County Local Small Businesses or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises, with an eight percent preference for businesses holding both certifications, subject to a maximum allowable deduction of $100,000. Contractors must provide proof of workers' compensation, general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and employers liability insurance ($1,000,000 per accident or disease), along with Labor and Material Payment Bonds and Faithful Performance Bonds at award.
