NIGP 57833: Energy Generating Devices; E.g., Modular Fuel Cells W/24, 48 or 125 Vdc

NIGP 57833 Energy Generating Devices; Modular Fuel Cells W/24, 48 Or 125 Vdc is an Item code under which state and local governments are currently procuring fuel supply and delivery services, energy efficiency improvements tied to performance contracting, and strategic renewable energy and distributed energy resource partnerships. The recent solicitation activity shows that despite the code's legacy focus on modular fuel cells, actual procurement under this code emphasizes operational fuels (gasoline and diesel), energy services performance contracting, and market research into broader energy access and renewable technologies. Issuing bodies include water districts, municipalities, and city governments; the Alameda County Water District and City of Winder have posted active opportunities in the past four months, and the City of Phoenix has issued a market-research RFI on behalf of both Phoenix and Maricopa County, signaling multi-jurisdictional energy access planning.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Georgia, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Alameda County Water District's IFB252635 (Provision & Delivery of Gasoline and Diesel Fuel), posted April 16, 2026, with bids due May 15, 2026, seeking approximately 118,500 gallons of unleaded gasoline, renewable diesel, and Type 2-D diesel annually across five facilities; the City of Winder, Georgia's RFQ PE60750NONST2026000000018 (Energy Savings Performance Contracting Services), posted February 24, 2026, with qualifications due March 10, 2026, for ESCOs to deliver investment-grade audits and energy efficiency retrofits across six municipal facilities totaling 115,840 square feet with guaranteed annual savings; and the City of Phoenix's RFI260267 (Strategic Partnerships for Advancing the Energy Access Plan), posted March 30, 2026, with responses due May 1, 2026, soliciting non-binding market information on renewable generation, energy storage, microgrids, EV charging, and innovative financing structures. The RFI explicitly carries no purchase obligation or budget commitment. Bidders on fuel delivery and energy services opportunities must meet state-specific licensing, insurance, and experience requirements; the Winder ESCO procurement requires Georgia ESCO approval and NAESCO ESP-level certification.
