NIGP 55725: Electrical Accessories and Parts (Not Lighting)

NIGP 55725 Electrical Accessories and Parts (Not Lighting) is an Item code that covers discrete electrical components and hardware state and local governments procure for maintenance, operations, and infrastructure upgrades—ring terminals, bushings, connectors, wire, fuses, float switches, and related equipment used across utilities, water systems, transportation fleets, schools, and county facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing these parts both as emergency replacements and through standing blanket purchase orders and master agreements. The issuing-body mix spans cities (Palo Alto, Milpitas, Dallas, Phoenix, Pembroke Pines), counties (Bernalillo, Galveston, Seminole, Hillsborough), school districts (Northside Independent, Fulton County Schools, Harlingen Consolidated, Bibb County Public Schools), transit authorities (DART), and water utilities. Several jurisdictions—particularly Palo Alto's Utilities Electric Department—post recurring RFQs for assorted electric parts, signaling steady replacement and maintenance demand. The code sees activity concentrated in Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, and New Mexico, with scattered opportunities in Arizona, Colorado, and the Northeast.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Milpitas IFB 26-229 (posted July 17, 2026, bids due August 4, 2026) for five-year blanket purchase orders across Utility Operations and Maintenance Supplies and other MRO categories explicitly naming electrical conduit; the City of Palo Alto RFQ 198238 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 8, 2026) for 40 line items of electrical components including ring terminals, bushings, connectors, wire, and fuses for the Electric Operations Department; Northside Independent School District IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (posted June 8, 2026, due July 1, 2026) replacing the expiring contract 2025-100; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative RFP ELEC2628 (posted June 22, 2026, due May 28, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $4,854,470 over two years for catalog discount electrical supplies; Bernalillo County RFB #43-26-BC (posted March 18, 2026, due April 8, 2026) for eight distinct electrical supply lots on a four-year indefinite quantity agreement; and the City of Dallas ID/IQ master agreement BE26-00029715 (posted February 5, 2026, due March 13, 2026) for sixty-month electrical supplies across eleven product groups. Cooperative purchasing vehicles, standing blanket orders, and multi-year master agreements dominate the code; awards typically go to the lowest responsive bidder on percentage-discount or catalog-pricing models, with local vendor preferences and set-asides (SBE, MBE, WBE, VBE) applied in select jurisdictions including Bergen County, New Jersey and Bernalillo County, New Mexico.
