NIGP 55940: Electrical Accessories and Parts (Not Lighting)

NIGP 55940 Electrical Accessories And Parts (Not Lighting), an Item code, covers discrete electrical components and hardware state and local governments buy for facilities maintenance, utilities operations, fleet support, and infrastructure repair. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, school districts, transit authorities, and special districts purchasing relays, switches, connectors, wire, fuses, brushes, arrestors, sensors, potentiometers, and related subassemblies on both as-needed and blanket-order bases. The City of Milpitas, for example, issued IFB 26-229 in July 2026 for five-year blanket purchase orders spanning five MRO supply categories including electrical conduit and components, with bids due August 4, 2026. The City of Palo Alto posted multiple RFQs for assorted electrical parts—ring terminals, bushings, connectors, wire, and fuses—with delivery on an F.O.B. Destination, Freight Prepaid basis. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued IFB 2026098 in June 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services, replacing an expiring contract.

Issuing bodies span cities (Milpitas, Palo Alto, Bartow, Dallas, Dunwoody, Pembroke Pines, Phoenix), counties (Bergen, Galveston, Bernalillo, Seminole, Gwinnett), school districts (Northside ISD, Fulton County Schools, Harlingen CISD), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and special districts (Eastern Municipal Water District, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Lee County Port Authority). Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates the recent-opportunities block with dozens of discrete purchase orders for individual components. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (DART, Galveston County, Harlingen, Dallas), California (Palo Alto, Milpitas, Phoenix), Florida (Bartow, Seminole County, Pembroke Pines, Lee County Port Authority), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Gwinnett County, Dunwoody), with additional activity in New Jersey (Bergen County), New Mexico (Bernalillo County), and scattered other states. Most active in the current window are Texas jurisdictions and California municipalities. Representative work includes Bernalillo County's RFB 43-26-BC (April 2026) establishing a four-year indefinite-quantity price-discount agreement for electrical supplies across eight bid lots with 30-minute delivery requirements, and County of Bergen's cooperative purchasing agreement (May 2026) for electrical supplies and equipment to member agencies with 4-hour emergency and 24-hour standard delivery to multiple locations. Delivery performance, pricing, and ability to maintain inventory or stock locally are consistent procurement drivers across jurisdictions.
