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

NIGP 34080 Smoke Detecting Equipment (Including Smoke Alarms) is an Item code that encompasses the procurement and installation of smoke alarms, combination smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and related fire detection hardware—plus inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair services for fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and fire suppression infrastructure. State and local governments are currently soliciting under this code to acquire commodity smoke alarms for distribution programs, install detection systems in schools and state facilities, perform recurring inspections and maintenance across municipal buildings, and establish service agreements for continuous monitoring and emergency response across multiple sites and jurisdictions.

Issuing bodies include city fire departments, school districts, county governments, state facility managers, housing authorities, and water utilities, with activity spread across Massachusetts, Florida, California, Utah, Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois. Massachusetts housing authorities and state agencies dominate the recent-opportunity mix, issuing multiple overlapping contracts for fire alarm and sprinkler system maintenance at state-aided residential developments and correctional and mental-health facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requesting bids for smoke alarms and combination smoke/CO alarms (FDB01527A, due October 28, 2026); the Florida Department of Transportation seeking fire alarm system replacement and upgrade at its Davie facility (ITB16835, estimated budget $150,000, bids due September 29, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools requesting proposals for inspection, maintenance, and repair of fire protection systems across 235 district schools (RFP 26349-RFP-MST, proposals due October 5, 2026, with structural separation-of-duties requirement and small business enterprise utilization scoring); Collin County, Texas issuing an IFB to replace sprinkler heads in a jail facility (IFB 2026-389, opinion of probable construction cost $150,000, bids due November 19, 2026); and Granite School District in Utah soliciting bids for fire alarm and carbon monoxide detection systems at multiple junior and senior high schools and technical institutions (multiple IFBs with mandatory pre-bid meetings and board approval gates). Prevailing wage requirements, performance bonds, insurance mandates, and NFPA/fire code compliance are standard across all jurisdictions.
