NIGP 91438: Electrical

NIGP 91438 Electrical, an Item code, encompasses the repair, replacement, and installation of electrical infrastructure and systems at state and local facilities—switchgear, automatic transfer switches, pad-mounted distribution equipment, lighting systems, HVAC controls, and associated wiring and conduits. Recent state and local solicitations show active procurement spanning routine maintenance contracts, emergency repairs, facility-wide upgrades, and major infrastructure replacements that blend electrical work with broader building systems.

Issuing bodies span community colleges (Skagit Valley College, Shoreline Community College, Columbia Basin College, Edmonds College, Reading Area Community College, Collin College), state departments (Washington Department of Enterprise Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Washington Military Department), county and municipal governments (Denton County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, Portage County Wisconsin, City of St. Petersburg, City of Lewisville, City of Thousand Oaks, Santa Clara County, Collier County), public authorities (Housing Authority of the City of Alameda, Framingham Regional Housing Authority, Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Corrections), university systems (Texas A&M University System, University of Southern Mississippi), and specialized districts (Galeton Borough Authority). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Washington State, with scattered opportunities across the upper Midwest and Southeast. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly, soliciting electrical maintenance and repair services across multiple state supported living centers; the Florida Department of Corrections issued a statewide ITB for electrical maintenance across 143 correctional facilities spanning eight geographic zones with an April 30, 2027 response date, requiring Florida Certified Electrical Contractor status and five years of comparable experience—a significant multi-facility contract opportunity. The City of St. Petersburg's RFQ for continuing building operations and maintenance (Solicitation RFQ26292, due August 20, 2026) allocates $7 million across a three-year term with one two-year renewal option covering chiller replacement, electrical repair or replacement, generator/ATS repair or replacement, and HVAC repair or replacement, with work performed on field-order basis carrying no guaranteed minimum volume. The Texas Military Department's IFB for aircraft fuel storage repair at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (due August 12, 2026) targets removal and replacement of above-ground fuel storage tanks with associated electrical and piping infrastructure, requiring demonstrated aviation fuel facility construction experience and VetHUB subcontracting. California Department of Water Resources, through the Department of General Services, solicited electric vehicle supply equipment installation at Castaic Operations & Maintenance Center (due August 17, 2026) with mandatory DVBE participation at minimum three percent and a five percent small-business preference available. Washington Department of Enterprise Services issued a fluorescent-to-LED lighting conversion bid (due July 21, 2026) and O'Brien Building legislative cleaning rebid (due July 23, 2026). Electrical work in the most-recent-opportunities block appears embedded within broader construction and renovation projects—water reclamation facility switchgear and generator replacement (Collier County, $5.46 million, due March 5, 2026), courthouse renovation electrical trade package (Portage County, due July 23, 2026), multi-trade student center construction including separate electrical prime contract (Reading Area Community College, due September 23, 2025), and campus chilled and heating water loop extension requiring electrical integration (Collin College, due July 28, 2026). High-value and mission-critical work is concentrated in Texas, Florida, and California; smaller routine maintenance and facility upgrades see wider geographic distribution. Prevailing wage compliance and bonding requirements appear standard across public-sector electrical solicitations; set-asides for SBE, MBE, WBE, HUB, and DVBE participation are common in Texas, California, and federal-grant-funded work, particularly for HHS and military projects.
