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

NIGP 85546 Lighting Control Systems: Memory And Computer/Microprocessor Type (Item) encompasses networked and programmable lighting management solutions—from cloud-based central control platforms for citywide streetlight deployments to discrete room-level occupancy sensors and demand-response systems integrated with building energy management infrastructure. State and local governments procure this code for both large-scale municipal infrastructure modernization and discrete facility upgrades, with recent activity dominated by city governments, county authorities, and school districts seeking LED lighting system upgrades paired with automated controls that reduce energy consumption and enable remote management across dispersed facilities.

Recent solicitations span Florida, Georgia, Colorado, California, and New Mexico, with the City of Bartow, Florida leading activity through two concurrent procurements: RFP2620 (due August 12, 2026) for a 3,500-node networked streetlight control platform with cloud-based management software and phased deployment across 2026–2028, and ITB2618 for sports field lighting controls including an optional OutdoorLink lighting control timer system. Bibb County Public Schools in Georgia (RFP 26-039, due May 21, 2026) solicited LED field lighting at seven middle schools with remote control system pricing as an add-alternate. Boulder County, Colorado (BID24426, due February 23, 2026) specified Wattstopper Digital Lighting Management technology—151 occupancy sensors, 126 plug load controllers, and networked control devices—for a 40,000-square-foot hub remodel. The Lee County Port Authority, Florida pursued OEM replacement parts for existing ADB Safegate airfield lighting systems on an as-needed basis. Activity also includes general-purpose electrical supplies contracts where lighting controls represent one among multiple bid categories, such as Bernalillo County, New Mexico's four-year indefinite-quantity agreement (RFB 43-26-BC, due April 8, 2026) with Lighting Controls/Miscellaneous Ballasts/Miscellaneous LEDs as a distinct lot, and Orange County, Sheriff-Coroner Department's three-year industrial lighting supplies agreement (IFB0603023302AA) encompassing ballasts, drivers, and emergency lighting equipment.
