NIGP 34506: Chemical Light, Emergency

NIGP 34506 Chemical Light, Emergency is an Item code under which state and local governments procure chemical lights and related emergency illumination supplies for disaster response, emergency management activation, and critical incident support. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division, soliciting on behalf of the Collier County Emergency Management Division, is currently seeking qualified vendors to supply chemical lights and related emergency resources as part of a broader Major Incident Standby Services contract pool that encompasses disaster and emergency response supplies, equipment, and personnel. The solicitation targets vendors capable of providing manpower support, supplies, equipment, base camps, emergency shelters, sanitation packages, power generation systems, pumping systems, material handling equipment, temporary structures, vehicles, tarps, personal protective equipment, and pet shelter supplies for activation under formal disaster declarations and other critical circumstances including severe weather events, mass violence incidents, pandemics, and supply chain disruptions.

Collier County, Florida represents the primary issuing body visible in recent activity under this code. The Collier County RFP (Solicitation No. 25-8416), issued February 11, 2026, establishes a five-year contract with one five-year renewal option to create a pool of qualified contractors who can mobilize resources within 12 hours of order and achieve full delivery within 96 hours. Proposals were due March 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST submitted electronically through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System. Historical county spending for major incident standby services, including chemical lights and related supplies, is approximately $1.2 million annually, though no minimum purchase amount is guaranteed and funding derives from disaster relief sources and potential FEMA, State, and Federal reimbursement. The County reserves the right to award contracts to multiple proposers and allows vendors to specialize in specific service areas; all vendors must be registered with Florida SunBiz, enrolled in E-Verify, hold a current Florida Certificate of Authority, and comply with Local Vendor Preference at Choice 2 level, with federal FEMA compliance, prevailing wage standards for contracts exceeding $100,000, and performance bonds of 100% required for awards exceeding $200,000.
