NIGP 02251: Implement Parts for Ford

NIGP 02251 Implement Parts For Ford is an Item code covering OEM replacement parts and related maintenance services that state and local governments procure for vehicle fleet operations. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses blanket purchase agreements for OEM bus and vehicle parts supplied on an as-needed basis, including both parts inventory and associated repair labor and equipment. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts managing large vehicle fleets; Parkway School District in Missouri recently solicited OEM replacement parts and repair services for its bus fleet through a blanket purchase order agreement, reflecting the typical use case where districts maintain standing vendor relationships to supply parts and perform maintenance work on demand rather than through individual discrete purchases.

Parkway School District in Missouri represents the recent activity visible under this code. The district issued an RFB on May 5, 2026 for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service with a response deadline of May 19, 2026, seeking qualified distributors to supply OEM replacement parts for its bus fleet and to provide material, labor, and equipment for all repair and maintenance operations. Vendors must maintain adequately staffed facilities, carry reasonable stock of parts, and obtain unavailable parts within approximately three days; the district encourages U.S.-manufactured products and extends preference to Missouri-manufactured commodities when quality, price, and delivery are comparable. Awards are determined on a lowest or best bid basis considering specification compliance, vendor ability to supply all or most required items, inventory commitment, prior experience, and financial strength. The initial contract term is twenty-four months with an opportunity for one additional month extension; no specific budget or award value was disclosed.
