NIGP 02540: Compressor, Base or Tank Mounted, Electric Motor or Engine Driven, Over 15 HP; And Parts

NIGP 02540 Compressor, Base Or Tank Mounted, Electric Motor Or Engine Driven, Over 15 Hp; And Parts is an Item code under which state and local governments procure compressor equipment, replacement components, and related repair services for industrial and utility operations. Recent solicitations show demand for brand-specific compressor units and parts (such as Quincy-branded compressors and air dryers), electric motor and pump repair services across multiple horsepower ratings, and consumable filters supporting compressor and motor maintenance. Issuing bodies include state administrative departments, municipal water districts, municipal electric utilities, and county governments. The Illinois Secretary of State, West Basin Municipal Water District in California, and Lubbock Power & Light in Texas have posted opportunities under or closely adjacent to this code in the past two months.

Activity concentrates in Illinois, California, and Texas. The Illinois Secretary of State issued an RFQ (Solicitation 27350SOSPHYSEB54562) due October 19, 2026, for Quincy 390L Basic Compressor, QPNC64 Refrigerated Air Dryer, and QMF70 Prefilter components for compressor repairs, with delivery required by January 31, 2027, and a maximum contract term of ten years including renewals. West Basin Municipal Water District released an RFP (RFPTH0143) due October 1, 2026, for on-call pump and motor repairs, rebuilds, and replacement services across eight recycled water and pumping facilities in Los Angeles County, covering electric motors from 1.5 to 800 horsepower with a not-to-exceed amount of $1 million over a two-year initial term and potential one-year extension. Both solicitations required standard commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance. The Illinois procurement included a $15 minority contractor initiative fee for awards exceeding $1,000 and prevailing wage compliance requirements. West Basin offered SBE, LBE, and VOBE set-asides with up to 10 percent price reductions or evaluation-point adjustments and required five years' minimum motor-repair experience and California Department of Industrial Relations Public Works Contractor Registration.
