NIGP 03191: Unit Heaters, Electric (Duct and Suspended Types)

NIGP 03191 Unit Heaters, Electric (Duct And Suspended Types) is an Item code that covers electric heating equipment and associated installation services for commercial and public facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying heat pump systems, split systems, and related HVAC replacement work for schools, county buildings, and public works facilities. Recent opportunities show school districts and county governments requesting heat pump replacements, gymnasium heating systems, and split-system installations as part of facility maintenance and modernization projects. The work typically includes equipment procurement, installation labor, refrigerant compliance (such as R-454B specifications), and associated piping and controls. Issuing bodies span county governments (Ada County, Idaho; Talbot County, Georgia; Orange County, California), independent school districts (Chestnut Hill Community School), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating county entities).

Geographic activity in the most recent solicitations centers on the Southeast (Georgia), Mountain West (Idaho), Southwest (California), and the Upper Midwest through cooperative purchasing mechanisms. Representative recent opportunities include Ada County's courthouse pump replacement project (sealed bid, due June 16, 2026), which encompassed demolition and replacement of penthouse and basement pumps with mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 27, 2026; Chestnut Hill Community School's gymnasium heat pump replacement (RFP, due July 2, 2026); and Talbot County, Georgia's Fire Department split heat pump system procurement (competitive bid, due March 26, 2026) for two 7.5-ton systems with R-454B refrigerant and new air handlers. Orange County, California's IFB for GM/Chevrolet fleet parts (due July 27, 2026) is misclassified under this NIGP code and does not represent activity in electric heating equipment. The code sees moderate activity across distinct jurisdictions rather than repeat buyers within recent months.
