NIGP 804: Spacecrafts, Accessories and Components

NIGP 804 Spacecrafts, Accessories And Components is a Class code reflecting state and local procurement activity that diverges sharply from its abstract category name. Recent opportunities show governments buying emergency vehicle equipment, prisoner-transport van fabrication, water-system chemical-resistant piping, and aviation training simulators—none of which are spacecraft-related. The code captures highly specialized equipment and systems for emergency response, public safety, utilities, transportation, and specialized training across diverse issuing bodies including state agencies (Delaware's Office of Management and Budget, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, Texas Space Commission), county governments (Orange County in California and Maryland), municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are geographically dispersed but concentrated in mid-Atlantic and Western states, with recent activity from Delaware, California, Massachusetts, Utah, Arizona, Texas, and New York jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities underscore the code's scope. Delaware's Office of Management and Budget posted an RFP on October 19, 2026 (GSS27626ERVEHWARN) for emergency vehicle warning systems and equipment—sirens, lighting, prisoner transport cages, vehicle consoles, and installation hardware—for state agencies, school districts, and other public entities, with bids due November 10, 2026. Orange County, California Sheriff-Coroner issued an IFB on October 6, 2026 (0603143802MB) for fabrication and installation of four custom prisoner-containment transportation vans with LED systems, siren equipment, and secure components, bids due October 30, 2026, offering 5–8 percent set-aside pricing for local small businesses and disabled veteran enterprises. Tucson Water posted an IFB on September 29, 2026 (240040) for chemical-resistant piping and fittings (PVC, CPVC, polypropylene) for sodium hypochlorite injection systems serving over 200 active wells. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority issued RFP 112-26 on August 21, 2026 for a replacement Centralized Train Control system managing dispatch across Red, Orange, Blue, and Green Lines, with responses due September 9, 2026 and supplier diversity weighted at 25 percent of technical scoring. Salt Lake Community College posted a bid on May 29, 2026 for two complete, non-running Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines for aviation training and teardown, delivery required by August 1, 2026. Activity under this code shows no standout repeat buyers across recent opportunities and does not support cooperative purchasing vehicles or pre-bid conferences as routine practice, though site visits and pre-proposal meetings appear in specialized procurements (prisoner-transport fabrication, flight simulators, thermal-vacuum facilities).
