NIGP 69068: Relays, etc.

NIGP 69068 Relays, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure electrical infrastructure installation, maintenance, and upgrade services—including low-voltage cabling, switchgear and relay replacements, generator controls, preventative and corrective electrical maintenance, and related automation and instrumentation work. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying turnkey electrical system design and installation (fiber and coaxial cabling, conduit and pathway work, testing and documentation), planned preventative maintenance on switchboards, transformers, variable frequency drives, motor control centers, and UPS units, emergency response and repair services with performance guarantees, and specialized upgrades such as neutral grounding resistor replacement and 15 kV switchgear modifications tied to generator and parallel-operation controls. Counties, state departments, and municipal utilities drive activity under this code; repeat buyers include the Washington State Department of Ecology and Florida counties (Orange County, Hillsborough County), who solicit large five-year service contracts with 24/7/365 emergency response requirements and prevailing wage or small-business set-asides.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' May 29, 2026 ITB for five-year low-voltage cabling services throughout the county, estimated at $9,213,350.00 and requiring BICSI RCDD certification and 99.9% fault-free service guarantees; Washington State Department of Ecology's July 20, 2026 IFB for electrical maintenance services at its 322,000-square-foot Lacey headquarters, covering preventative maintenance on 151 switchboards, 37 transformers, and 36 variable frequency drives with a mandatory pre-bid conference on June 18, 2026, small-business or veteran-owned business set-aside, and estimated value of $150,000 or less; Orange County, Florida's April 30, 2026 IFB for Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical and mechanical upgrades, including generator replacement, 15 kV switchgear modifications, and protective relay replacement, with a five-year warranty requirement and firm pricing; and DeKalb County's July 13, 2026 ITB for IT and low-voltage infrastructure at the DeKalb Tennis Center, coordinated through the Department of Innovation and Technology.
