NIGP 45007: Battery Chargers

NIGP 45007 Battery Chargers is an Item code covering the procurement of battery charging devices, charging systems, and related charging infrastructure. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing charging blocks and surge protectors for office use, UPS and battery maintenance and replacement services for critical infrastructure, battery charging and storage services for municipal operations, rechargeable battery components for law enforcement equipment (Taser systems), battery tenders for snowblower maintenance, and vehicle battery supplies for fleet operations. The issuing bodies include municipal procurement departments (City of Philadelphia, City of Houston), county governments (Waukesha County, Orange County, Hillsborough County), state departments (Texas Department of Insurance, California Department of Food and Agriculture), regional cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell), and specialized law enforcement purchasing vehicles. Recent activity reflects fragmented demand across small to mid-sized municipal and county fleet and operations needs as well as specialized applications in public safety and seasonal equipment maintenance.

Geographic spread across the code shows activity in Texas (Houston, Texas Department of Insurance), California (Truckee Border Protection Station), Wisconsin (Waukesha County), Florida (Hillsborough County, Orange County region), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and multi-state cooperative purchasing frameworks.
