NIGP 96183: Utility Services, Electric

NIGP 96183 Utility Services, Electric, Item code, covers the design, installation, upgrade, maintenance, and operational support of electrical distribution infrastructure serving state and local facilities and service territories. Recent state and local solicitations reflect a mix of distribution-system construction work (primary and secondary line installations, pole replacements, transformer upgrades), facility-level electrical upgrades (service replacements, panel work, control-system retrofits), and specialized operational services (troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance contracts for water control structures and waste-to-energy facilities). Issuing bodies include electric cooperatives (Tri-County Electric Cooperative in Florida; Glades Electric Cooperative in Florida; Cleveland Public Power in Ohio), municipal utilities (Lawrenceville Electric Department in Georgia; Arlington Water Utilities in Texas), county and regional utilities (St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida; Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex in Florida), cities (Arlington, Tampa, College Station, and Lubbock in Texas; Kissimmee and DeBary in Florida; Albany and Lawrenceville in Georgia; Pflugerville in Texas), and special districts (Santa Rosa County in Florida; Boulder County in Colorado; Bernalillo County in New Mexico). The code also captures utility bill printing and mailing services for electric departments (Fulton County, Georgia) and energy-consulting work on procurement and demand-response management (Collin County Community College District in Texas; City of Pflugerville in Texas).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Tri-County Electric Cooperative's distribution system improvements through November 2026; Glades Electric Cooperative's vegetation management across four transmission lines through December 2026; Pinellas County's microgrid design-build at a waste-to-energy facility with Statements of Qualifications due September 29, 2026; State of Florida's Camp Blanding primary power distribution upgrade of $1.8 million with bids due August 26, 2026), Georgia (City of Lawrenceville's Grove Park Underground Loop project with bids due August 20, 2026; City of Albany's citywide security light upgrades involving 12,346 asset actions with bids due November 13, 2026), Texas (City of Arlington's Collins elevated storage tank rehabilitation with bids due August 20, 2026; Collin County Community College District's retail electric provider procurement with proposals due July 28, 2026; City of College Station's SH6 utility relocation package with proposals due April 29, 2026), and Colorado (Boulder County fuel tank replacement with bids due October 27, 2026). Incumbent contractors and specific award values are seldom named in posted notices; Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements apply to federally funded projects (Camp Blanding, McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy electrical support in Tampa, and Kissimmee apartment electrical upgrades). Small business and DBE participation preferences appear in numerous solicitations but are not uniformly structured across jurisdictions.
