NIGP 92557: Instrumentation/Engineering

NIGP 92557 Instrumentation/Engineering, an Item code, encompasses the design, installation, commissioning, and long-term support of process monitoring, control, and power management systems that state and local governments integrate into water, wastewater, transportation, and facility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring UPS system installation with five-year maintenance contracts, engineering design for backup power and SCADA integration at water treatment plants, process instrumentation products and factory support, commissioning authority services for LEED facilities, and comprehensive on-call engineering support for utility capital improvement programs. Issuing bodies span state departments (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Management Services, Georgia Department of Transportation), counties (Sarasota, Collier, Madison, DeKalb, Wayne, Pinellas), cities (Santa Fe, Dalton, Union City, Orange Park, Griffin, Social Circle, Madison), and regional water authorities (West Basin Municipal Water District, Great Lakes Water Authority). Transit authorities and water utilities appear as repeat buyers, particularly for power resilience and SCADA system work. Work is concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with notable activity in Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New Jersey.
