NIGP 96737: Electrical and Electronic Products (incl. Computers and Peripherals)

NIGP 96737 Electrical and Electronic Products (Including Computers and Peripherals), Item code, encompasses the supply and integration of computing devices, electrical components, fixtures, and related services that state and local governments purchase to refresh technology infrastructure, support facility operations, and maintain electrical systems across schools, municipalities, counties, and special districts. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring Windows and Chromebook devices with configuration and lifecycle management; electrical fixtures, parts, and conduit systems for facility maintenance; specialized low-voltage systems including IT/AV, access control, and CCTV; motor control centers; batteries and chargers; and on-call electrical repair and installation services. School districts, county governments, cities, and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, and other states where jurisdictions are refreshing device inventories, upgrading power distribution systems, and contracting for preventive and emergency electrical maintenance.

Recent opportunities reflect two distinct procurement patterns.

City Colleges of Chicago solicited bids on a Job Order Contract for electrical low-voltage work, IT/AV, security products, and CCTV across all district facilities (October 21, 2026 bid deadline), structured on a 60-month contract or $5 million cap—whichever occurs first—with 25% MBE and 7% WBE participation goals and prevailing wage compliance. DeKalb County, Georgia (September 17, 2026 deadline) and the City of Lubbock, Texas (October 1, 2026 deadline) issued on-call electrical service contracts covering repair, maintenance, and installation across residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
