NIGP 045: Appliances and Equipment, Household Type

NIGP 045 Appliances and Equipment, Household Type is a Class code under which state and local governments procure replacement and new-install household and commercial kitchen and laundry appliances for detention facilities, fire stations, parks, veterans' facilities, school districts, and county offices. Recent solicitations show procurement of refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, ice/water dispensers, and specialized industrial equipment such as commercial washers and dryers for institutional use. The code captures both one-time capital purchases and on-call service contracts for appliance repair, maintenance, and parts supply across facility portfolios. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, sheriff's offices, fire rescue departments, public works agencies, state departments, and city government facilities management divisions. Tuolumne County appears as a repeat buyer for facility capital projects, while Orange County, Hillsborough County, Monroe County, and multiple Florida municipal entities have posted recent opportunities. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Tuolumne, San Mateo, Orange counties) and Florida (Hillsborough, Orange, Sarasota, Monroe counties, Tampa, Palm Bay, Norfolk), with secondary activity in Utah, New Hampshire, and Texas. Set-asides and local preferences vary by jurisdiction—Orange County and San Mateo County apply local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preferences where applicable.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department seeking eight Frigidaire refrigerators and four ASKO dishwashers for fire stations as needed under RFQ 26-P-00293 (due April 30, 2026); Hillsborough County soliciting kitchen and laundry appliances for fire stations under ITQ-26-00290 for $41,183.79 (due June 18, 2026); the State of New Hampshire requesting four Speed Queen washer-dryer units for the Youth Treatment Center under BID14926 (due May 21, 2026); Monroe County requesting countywide appliance repair services including preventative maintenance and parts supply under RFP641 (due August 25, 2026); and the State of Utah Division of Purchasing procuring two large-capacity washing machines for a veterans' home under IFB RR26-29 (due May 19, 2026). Procurement notice frequency and dollar values suggest modest but steady activity across institutional facilities management, with most awards structured as fixed purchases or multi-year service contracts combining labor, parts, and warranty obligations.
