NIGP 73006: Calibrators: Resistance, Power, Voltage, Time, etc.

NIGP 73006 Calibrators: Resistance, Power, Voltage, Time, Etc., an Item code, encompasses measurement and calibration instruments that state and local governments procure for testing, diagnostics, and standards verification across operational and maintenance functions. The recent state and local opportunity record shows limited posting activity under this code; the most recent solicitation, posted by the County of Santa Clara in June 2026, was an RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories for the Office of the Sheriff — a product category that falls outside the narrower scope of electrical calibration equipment the NIGP description names. This mismatch suggests either mis-coding in the posting or a broad interpretation of calibration-related procurement by the issuing office.

The single recent opportunity provides minimal geographic and issuing-body signal. The County of Santa Clara's June 2026 RFQ represents county-level procurement activity in California, but absent additional recent postings under this code from other jurisdictions, state departments, municipalities, school districts, or transit authorities, no broader pattern of demand or regional concentration emerges from the available record. Vendors pursuing activity under this code should monitor California county procurement channels and verify coding consistency with their target customers, as the gap between the NIGP definition and the recent solicitation detail suggests potential classification variance in how state and local offices tag calibration and measurement equipment.
