NIGP 34080: Smoke Detecting Equipment (incl. Smoke Alarms)

NIGP 34080 Item code for Smoke Detecting Equipment (Including Smoke Alarms) spans the sale and installation of fire detection hardware and related monitoring, maintenance, and support services. State and local governments procure smoke detectors as standalone safety devices for institutional facilities, integrate them into larger fire alarm and suppression system upgrades, deploy them through community risk reduction programs, and contract for inspection, testing, and preventative maintenance across multiple facilities.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Sacramento County, Clay County, Collin County), city fire departments and emergency management divisions (Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, Sarasota County Fire Department), public utilities commissions (California Public Utilities Commission), state departments and institutions (California Department of Veterans Affairs, Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, Massachusetts Military Division, Illinois Department of Community Services), school districts (Granite School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Prince George's County Public Schools), housing authorities (Andover Housing Authority), transit agencies (Utah Transit Authority, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority), and municipal facilities (Town of North Attleborough, Town of Stoneham). Fire alarm system upgrades dominate recent activity, with Granite School District soliciting multiple installation projects across junior and elementary schools in Utah during May–June 2026. Geographic concentration appears strongest in California, Massachusetts, Florida, and Utah, with additional activity in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and Maryland. Representative recent opportunities include Sacramento County's RFB 2026RFB0012 for 24/7/365 alarm system monitoring services across 228 county-owned facilities with response due March 24, 2026 (ITB); Granite School District's multiple IFBs for fire alarm and carbon monoxide detection system installations at Taylorsville High School, Churchill Junior High, Bennion Junior High, and Bridger Elementary, with bids due May 21–July 23, 2026; California Department of Veterans Affairs' solicitation 26YS0027 for kitchen hood fire suppression services at Yountville (RFQ due March 24 / May 5, 2026); and Massachusetts Department of Mental Health's Contract 2027-003 for fire alarm preventative maintenance, repairs, and testing at Taunton State Hospital with bids due June 10, 2026. Most recent solicitations emphasize compliance with NFPA standards (particularly NFPA 72 for fire alarm systems and NFPA 25 for sprinkler system inspection), mandatory pre-bid meetings, prevailing wage requirements where federal or state funding applies, and performance/payment bonding thresholds tied to contract value.
