NIGP 45092: Wire and Cable, Mechanical

NIGP 45092 Wire And Cable, Mechanical is an Item code under which state and local governments procure underground and in-building electrical conduit, power and control wiring, and related mechanical installation services for utility infrastructure, school facilities, and municipal electrical systems. Recent solicitations show work ranging from directional bore installation of HDPE primary power conduit to comprehensive lift station electrification with three-phase feeders, submersible pump wiring, and control panel infrastructure. School districts, municipal utilities, city governments, and special district authorities issue under this code. Pinellas County School District in Florida has posted multiple ITBs for lift station replacement work; the City of Albany, Georgia solicited directional bore conduit installation; the City of Lubbock, Texas requested proposals for mechanical and electrical services to water utility facilities; and Sourcewell, acting as a cooperative purchasing vehicle on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and jurisdictions nationwide, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment with electrical components. Work typically requires compliance with the National Electrical Code, AWWA standards, applicable state building codes, and UL or equivalent material certification; contractors must hold current trade licenses and demonstrate prior experience with comparable installations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Washington, with additional representation across the broader Sourcewell cooperative footprint. Representative solicitations include the Pinellas County School District ITB 26-CD-033 for lift station replacement at Dixie Hollins High School (estimated value approximately $485,000, response deadline August 31, 2026, now passed), requiring a three-phase 208-volt, 10-horsepower electrical feeder with specified AWG conductors and comprehensive site restoration; the City of Albany ITB for 1–2 inch HDPE primary power conduit installation via directional bore at minimum 3.5-foot depth (response deadline September 8, 2026); and the City of Lubbock RFP 26-19769-YB for mechanical, electrical, welding, and machinist services to water utility facilities (response deadline August 12, 2026, with one-year base term plus four optional renewals and 70-point weighting toward price). Prevailing wage, performance bonding, and comprehensive insurance coverage (typically $1 million per occurrence commercial general liability minimum) are standard contract requirements.
