NIGP 91125: C.i.p., Energy Management System

NIGP 91125 Energy Management System, an Item code, encompasses software platforms and integrated services that enable municipalities to monitor, optimize, and forecast energy consumption across municipal facilities and infrastructure. State and local governments procure these systems to centralize utility account oversight, integrate real-time consumption data from utility provider billing systems, detect overconsumption and anomalies, manage energy efficiency initiatives through project tracking and ROI analysis, and coordinate with on-site renewable generation and EV charging infrastructure. The issuing bodies range from city governments and counties to special-purpose districts such as water authorities and municipal water districts. Cities and specialized public utilities dominate recent activity, with procurement typically structured as RFP for software implementation contracts spanning 16 weeks to multiple years, combined with professional consulting services for energy audits, efficiency audits, and performance contracting frameworks that bundle design, installation, commissioning, and measurement and verification.
