NIGP 91185: Special Trade Constructon, Power Plant

NIGP 91185 Special Trade Construction, Power Plant is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized construction work for power generation and related infrastructure systems. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying diesel generator installation and integration (including fuel-tank systems, switchgear, and auxiliary electrical work), detention-center security controls, water-piping systems replacement, and bridge reconstruction—work that combines mechanical installation, electrical integration, structural work, and site preparation across utility, corrections, transportation, and general infrastructure settings.

The issuing-body mix spans county capital projects departments, municipal public works and detention bureaus, and county transportation authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, Orange County) and Georgia (DeKalb County), with secondary procurement posts from Arizona (Pinal County) and Texas (City of Brownsville).
