NIGP 02095: Unloaders and Elevators, Grain

NIGP 02095 Unloaders and Elevators, Grain is an Item code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers vertical conveyance systems maintenance and repair, material handling equipment services, and waste container transport and removal — a broader scope than the legacy description suggests. The City of Tucson is seeking comprehensive preventive maintenance and repair for approximately 47 vertical conveyance units (elevators, material handling units, and chair lifts) across city facilities, with an RFP due July 7, 2026, and a pre-submittal meeting scheduled June 25, 2026. Clay County, Florida is procuring grapple and roll-off container services for waste and recyclable material transport from four Environmental Convenience Centers to its Rosemary Hill Solid Waste Management Facility, with bids due September 3, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting August 21, 2026; the contractor must self-perform a minimum of 40 percent of contract work, maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million each occurrence and $2 million aggregate, and enter a three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals. Issuing bodies under this code span city and county governments; Tucson and Clay County represent municipalities and county commissions soliciting equipment maintenance and waste services respectively.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Beyond the Tucson and Clay County opportunities, the source does not identify additional recent state and local solicitations under this code. Market activity under NIGP 02095 remains limited in the available records; practitioners should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional government procurement channels for broader opportunity flow, as the code's application to vertical conveyance systems in municipal and county facilities may generate sporadic but substantial contract values. The Tucson solicitation emphasizes federal compliance under HUD and FTA funding with Section 3 employment and DBE participation requirements; Clay County's freight-based container service carries a five percent bid bond requirement and multi-year renewal optionality typical of waste services contracting.
