NIGP 02295: Unloader and Elevator (Grain) Equipment Parts

NIGP 02295 Unloader and Elevator (Grain) Equipment Parts is an Item code that covers replacement and repair components for grain-handling and vertical-conveyance equipment, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code is minimal. The source contains one substantive recent opportunity—the City of Tucson's request for proposals to establish an annual requirements contract for comprehensive preventive maintenance and repair of vertical conveyance systems (elevators, material handling units, and chair lifts) across approximately 47 units at city facilities, posted June 15, 2026, with proposals due July 7, 2026. This procurement spans routine monthly preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency repair services, and annual and five-year load testing for hydraulic and traction elevators serving approximately 40 city buildings with equipment from major manufacturers including Otis, Schindler, KONE, Dover, ThyssenKrupp, and US Elevator. The contract requires contractors to maintain a local Tucson business presence, employ locally-based technicians, hold all required licenses and certifications, and comply with prevailing wage, Section 3 (25 percent labor-hour minimum with Section 3 Workers, 5 percent with Targeted Section 3 Workers), and Buy America requirements for work at HUD and FTA-funded facilities.

The Tucson opportunity represents isolated recent activity under this code. No other substantive state and local solicitations appear in the source block; the second entry is a relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department in Texas, not a procurement opportunity. Geographic spread is limited to the single Arizona municipality represented in the opportunity block. Contractors pursuing vertical-conveyance work should prioritize local staffing, federal compliance certifications (particularly HUD and FTA labor-hour reporting), and familiarity with maintenance-contract structures that separate preventive-maintenance pricing from on-call repair services and testing. Pre-submittal meetings and technical compliance details are routine elements of these solicitations.
