NIGP 69065: Regulators, Voltage Current

NIGP 69065 Regulators, Voltage Current, an Item code, encompasses the design, specification, procurement, and deployment of electrical voltage regulation and current-control equipment serving state and local infrastructure—primarily water utilities, waste management facilities, and public facilities requiring managed power distribution. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect three distinct market segments: major capital infrastructure (waste-to-energy and power generation facilities), ongoing consulting and engineering services for utility systems, and routine electrical distribution system upgrades at public parks and facilities. Issuing bodies include special-purpose districts (water and solid waste authorities), state agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), and county government departments (DeKalb County, Hillsborough County). Beyond equipment procurement, substantial activity flows through qualifications-based and as-needed electrical engineering consulting vehicles focused on SCADA systems, instrumentation, controls, and cybersecurity advisory for industrial utility environments.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Toho Water Authority, Hillsborough County) and expand into Maryland and Georgia. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County posted RFEI 27-501 on September 11, 2026, requesting Letters of Interest for a full Demolition, Design, Build, Operate and Maintain (DDBOM) structure for a new mass-burn waste-to-energy facility with three 850-ton-per-day boilers, with submissions due November 18, 2026, and an Industry Day scheduled for December 10, 2026. Toho Water Authority released two substantially identical qualifications-based RFQs (RFQU26010 and RFQU2610) on July 13, 2026, for continuing electrical engineering consulting services with emphasis on SCADA systems, cybersecurity, and telemetry in Polk County, responses due August 13, 2026. Hillsborough County issued ITB 26-00261 on May 6, 2026, for a five-year ongoing low voltage cabling contract with an estimated value of $9,213,350.00, bids due May 29, 2026, requiring Florida Low Voltage licensure and BICSI RCDD certification. Maryland Environmental Service posted competitive sealed bid 1262125R on July 7, 2026, for electrical equipment replacement and system upgrade at Janes Island State Park to support RV and EV charging infrastructure, bids due August 7, 2026, with a 15% MBE participation goal.
