NIGP 02585: Motors, Air Compressor

NIGP 02585 Motors, Air Compressor is an Item code covering the procurement of air compressor units, components, and related services by state and local governments. State and local buying under this code spans new equipment purchases (compressor replacements and installations), maintenance and repair services, refrigerant and OEM components, and on-call repair-and-rebuild contracts for electric motors and pumps across water districts, corrections departments, universities, and county facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal water districts (West Basin Municipal Water District in California), school districts (Klein ISD in Texas), universities (George Mason University), port authorities, and county governments serving specialized infrastructure such as naval bases. The scope reflects both routine maintenance cataloging and large-scale capital replacement projects with rigorous uptime and performance-testing requirements.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, California, Georgia, and Virginia. West Basin Municipal Water District issued an RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County, with proposals due October 1, 2026, covering electric motors from 1.5 to 800 horsepower and a $1 million not-to-exceed contract value over two years with SBE, LBE, and VOBE preferences worth up to 10 percent. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited bids under IW267581 for air conditioning parts and accessories (including Trane components and R-410A refrigerant) with a passed deadline of October 15, 2026. George Mason University requested proposals for air compressor maintenance and repair services across four Virginia campuses covering 121 compressors and 76 dryers from multiple manufacturers (Quincy, Gardner Denver, Atlas Copco, Curtis, Champion, and others), with a one-year term and four renewal options, proposals due July 21, 2026, and a Virginia SWaM preference worth 10 evaluation points. Camden County Board of Commissioners issued a competitive sealed proposal (PE62000NONST2027000000046) for replacement of high-pressure breathing air compressor systems at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia, with proposals due October 1, 2026, and a requirement for three new Sauer Hurricane Series WP4251 compressor packages, SCADA integration, and CGA Grade D breathing air certification.
