NIGP 91082: Wiring and Other Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services

NIGP 91082 Wiring and Other Electrical Maintenance and Repair Services, Item code, encompasses on-call and project-based electrical repair, maintenance, and installation work that state and local governments procure for buildings, infrastructure, and utility systems—from code-compliance residential retrofits to high-voltage industrial systems, emergency standby generators, and specialized facility electrical upgrades. State departments, counties, cities, school districts, water and transit authorities, correctional facilities, and housing authorities are active buyers; Texas HHSC, Michigan DNR, Texas Parks and Wildlife, and Fulton County appear as repeat issuers in recent solicitations. Work being solicited ranges from emergency breaker replacement (Illinois Department of Corrections, $26,520 not-to-exceed, ITB, July 2026) to multi-year on-call electrical services pools (Housing Authority of Prince George's County, RFP, June 2026; Fulton County countywide maintenance, ITB with MBE/WBE goals, August 2026) and facility-wide electrical system upgrades for water treatment plants, correctional facilities, schools, airports, and state historic sites. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Jackson Community Development Department's electrical code-compliance retrofit bids for residential properties in Michigan (sealed bid, July 2026), Texas HHSC's as-needed electrical services at state supported living centers (IFB, July 2026), and the Texas Department of Transportation's electrical maintenance services for the Tyler District (July 2026).

Activity concentrates in Texas, Michigan, Georgia, and California, with secondary activity in Illinois, Maryland, Florida, and Oregon. Recent solicitations cluster in the Southeast and Texas, reflecting both utility infrastructure modernization and state facility maintenance programs. Prevailing wage requirements appear consistently in Texas procurements and public works contracts; federal funding triggers Davis-Bacon compliance and Section 3 employment preferences in community development projects. Insurance minimums (typically $1 million commercial general liability) and bonds are standard requirements. Electrical licensing is mandatory across all jurisdictions; many require Master Electrician credentials and specific experience thresholds. Response times for emergency and on-call work are tightening—two-hour on-site for emergencies is common—and 24/7 dispatch availability is increasingly demanded. Contract terms typically run one to four years with optional renewals; pricing is submitted as firm fixed rates with limited CPI adjustments permitted at procuring body discretion.
