NIGP 05534: Generators, 110V (Attached to and Operated by Automotive Engine)

NIGP 05534 Generators, 110V (Attached To And Operated By Automotive Engine) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standby power equipment for facilities, emergency response, and fleet operations. The code activity spans maintenance contracts, equipment installation and replacement, and emergency disaster-response power systems, with recent solicitations showing generators as both standalone infrastructure investments and components of broader maintenance or facilities management packages. Issuing bodies include county governments, municipal utilities, school districts, and transit authorities, with particular activity from Florida counties (Orange, Brevard, Clay, Collier) and Georgia counties (White County Board of Commissioners appearing twice in the recent opportunity block). Maintenance emerges as the dominant work type: counties solicit multi-year contracts for preventative maintenance, emergency repair, load bank testing, and remote monitoring across generator fleets ranging from 15 to 43 units, often structured as all-inclusive service packages with fixed or cost-plus pricing. Generators also appear as components in disaster-response procurement and fleet support services, where they function as backup power or emergency standby assets.

Representative recent opportunities include the White County Board of Commissioners, Georgia, issuing two RFPs for generator maintenance services—one posted March 26, 2026 (due April 24, 2026) covering 24 generators at county facilities, and a rebid posted April 27, 2026 (due May 26, 2026) covering 15 units across multiple locations, both structured as sealed-proposal competitions with qualifications and pricing evaluated separately; Clay County Board of County Commissioners, Florida, issuing an IFB on January 28, 2026 (closing February 19, 2026) for preventative maintenance and 24-hour emergency repair across 43 generators with annual and quarterly inspection requirements; and Orange County, Florida, issuing an IFB on April 17, 2026 (due May 19, 2026) for a 100 kW natural gas generator with automatic transfer switch installation at a Corrections Video Visitation facility, estimated at $355,000 with a mandatory site visit on April 24, 2026. Geographic concentration in Florida and Georgia reflects recent solicitation clustering, though activity also appears in Texas (cooperative purchasing vehicle referenced but opportunity details minimal) and California (Santa Clara County Library District). No set-asides specific to disadvantaged enterprises appear in the posted opportunities; standard E-Verify compliance, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance requirements apply across all jurisdictions.
