NIGP 45025: Cords, Power, Electrical

NIGP 45025 Cords, Power, Electrical is an Item code encompassing portable power cords, extension cords, surge protectors, charging blocks, and related electrical connection products that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, emergency operations, special events, and utility infrastructure work. State and local procurement under this code spans routine supply replenishment through blanket purchase orders, competitive micro-purchases for small quantities, and specialized procurement tied to infrastructure projects such as airport control tower systems, water utility upgrades, and electrical system renovations at public facilities.

Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments, county commissioners' offices, transit authorities, airport authorities, school districts, utility authorities, and regional purchasing cooperatives. Recent activity shows municipal governments and county agencies issuing the majority of solicitations, often through annual requirements contracts or on-call frameworks. Geographic spread encompasses Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, California, and the Upper Midwest, with no single jurisdiction dominating activity. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB for 487 line items of electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies (487-item catalog with two-year term plus three renewal options, due October 28, 2026); Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP for high voltage electrical substation services including cable installation and termination across 69KV to 230KV systems (three-year term with two one-year options, anticipated value exceeding $750,000, due August 4, 2026 with Addendum No. 2 issued July 24, 2026); City Colleges of Chicago's Job Order Contract for electrical low voltage, IT/AV systems, security products, and CCTV installation across all district facilities (five-year base term, $5 million maximum value, MBE 25% and WBE 7% participation goals, due October 21, 2026); and City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase for charging blocks and surge protectors (three-day window, under $45,000, due September 25, 2026). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's electrical supplies catalog discount bid (estimated $4.85 million over two years through June 18, 2028) and DeKalb County Georgia's on-call electrical services ITB (annual contract with two one-year renewal options, sealed bid due September 17, 2026) show sustained demand across utility maintenance, facilities repair, and emergency response applications.
