NIGP 85546: Lighting Control Systems: Memory and Computer/Microprocessor Type

NIGP 85546 Lighting Control Systems: Memory And Computer/Microprocessor Type, an Item code, encompasses networked lighting control hardware, cloud-based management software, and integrated control systems that state and local governments deploy to manage large-scale lighting infrastructure — principally streetlights, sports fields, and facility lighting across municipal and educational facilities. Recent solicitations show municipalities and school districts procuring standalone control nodes compatible with ANSI standards, SaaS-based central management platforms with wireless communications and remote scheduling capabilities, LED fixtures with programmable controllers, and integrated electrical infrastructure to support field-level lighting systems. The issuing bodies span cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose authorities (port authorities, universities), with repeat activity from the City of Bartow, Florida across multiple lighting infrastructure projects.

Recent opportunities reflect activity in Florida, California, Texas, and Mississippi. The City of Bartow posted RFP2620 in October 2026 for networked streetlight control nodes and cloud-based management systems covering approximately 3,500 lighting control devices citywide with phased deployment through 2028, evaluating proposals on experience, project approach, financial viability, and local vendor utilization (due August 12, 2026, with W/MBE, veteran, and local vendor preferences). The City of Tucson issued RFP 240057 for an annual requirements contract supplying commercial lighting fixtures and repair parts to municipal departments with Section 3 labor compliance requirements (proposals due June 27, 2024). The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner Department issued IFB0603023302AA in June 2026 for industrial lighting supplies and equipment with a $900,000 contract value over three years, offering five percent preference for Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Texas State University posted RFP 754-TXST-2026-RFP-504-ATH for lighting services at athletic facilities (proposals due August 10, 2026). The City of Bartow also solicited ITB 26-18 for electrical contracting services to install sports field lighting systems at the Carver Recreation Center, a CDBG-funded project with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and Section 3 provisions (bids due July 22, 2026).
