NIGP 98457: Power Supplies Rental or Lease: Surge Protectors, Ups, etc.

NIGP 98457 Power Supplies Rental or Lease: Surge Protectors, UPS, Etc., an Item code, covers uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment maintenance, replacement, repair, and installation services that state and local governments procure to protect critical facility operations and emergency systems. Recent solicitations show counties and state agencies buying UPS unit replacement and battery maintenance across public safety facilities, county administrative locations, and emergency power infrastructure; the scope spans single-facility replacements to multi-location maintenance contracts supporting ongoing operational resilience. Issuing bodies include county governments (Waukesha County, Wisconsin; Forsyth County, Georgia; Fairfax County, Virginia) and state-level procurement offices coordinating cooperative contracts for broader public-sector participation. The Texas Department of Information Resources, procuring on behalf of eligible Texas state agencies, local governments, and higher-education institutions, frames End-User IT Outsourcing Services broadly to include break/fix/maintenance and hosted virtual desktop support as ancillary categories, though UPS maintenance sits within the primary scope of facility and IT infrastructure support.

Recent activity clusters in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin), Southeast (Georgia, Virginia), and Texas.
