NIGP 69037: Data Acquisition Systems

NIGP 69037 Data Acquisition Systems, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of monitoring, control, and data-collection equipment and systems—including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) hardware, remote telemetry units, electrical components, and integrated systems management infrastructure—that state and local governments deploy to operate and supervise critical infrastructure such as water systems, waste management facilities, and utility networks. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring SCADA system upgrades with integrated programming and cybersecurity compliance, standardized electrical components for control panels, and full-service equipment procurement bundled with installation, integration, and long-term maintenance.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city governments, county purchasing offices, university systems, and special-purpose authorities. Recent activity reflects a mix of water utilities (City of Flowery Branch, Georgia), county facilities management (Hillsborough County, DeKalb County), higher-education IT infrastructure (Texas A&M University System), and waste-management authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). Geographic concentration centers on Florida and Georgia, with additional activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Flowery Branch's RFP for SCADA System Equipment Upgrade for Water System (due June 30, 2026), requiring design, installation, integration, and programming across five sites with mandatory pre-bid meeting and firm-fixed pricing for capital equipment and annual maintenance contracts; Hillsborough County's ITB for ongoing Schneider brand electrical components (due June 18, 2026) estimated at $519,787.19 over two years for SCADA control panel standardization; and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI for a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility design-build-operate-maintain project (due November 18, 2026) requiring integrated project delivery with integrated project delivery with EPC structure.
