NIGP 69046: Indicators, Power Generating Equipment

NIGP 69046 Indicators, Power Generating Equipment is an Item code covering the supply and installation of backup power generation systems and associated ground-support equipment at state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code to equip critical infrastructure—airports, county government buildings, fire stations, exhibition centers—with emergency backup generators and specialized airport ground equipment such as preconditioned air units and ground power units for aircraft gates. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying complete turnkey installations including equipment fabrication, system startup, functional testing, commissioning, training, and in some cases removal and disposal of existing units. Work is structured as single lump-sum contracts with performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage compliance where grant-funded, and insurance requirements scaled to the operational environment (aviation liability coverage for airport work, standard commercial liability for facilities).

Issuing bodies under this code include county governments (Okaloosa County, Florida; Fairfax County, Virginia; Columbia County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia) and airport authorities operating within county systems. Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, with recent opportunities posted in Florida, Virginia, and Georgia between June and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Okaloosa County's ITB ITBAP0327, due October 28, 2026, seeking furnishing and installation of three 45-ton preconditioned air units and two 90 kilowatt-amp ground power units at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport with Davis-Bacon Act compliance; Fairfax County's RFP 2000004461, due October 16, 2026, for electrical and emergency power systems installation and replacement through competitive negotiation; and Columbia County's IFB PE63600NONST2026000000095, due July 9, 2026, for backup generator supply and installation at three county facilities with mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 17, 2026 and electronic submission through Bonfire Interactive.
