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 that in practice encompasses much broader generator procurement and service activity than the code name suggests. State and local governments currently solicit under this code for installation of large standby generators (350 kW diesel units in recent cases), comprehensive maintenance contracts covering fleets of 15–230 generators across municipal facilities, emergency repair services, and backup power systems for specialized applications such as golf-course operations. The issuing bodies include county administrations, municipalities of varying sizes, water utilities, and transit-adjacent special districts. Beaufort County, South Carolina; Seminole County, Florida; the City of Taylor, Michigan; the City of Madison, Wisconsin; and White County, Georgia appear as active buyers in the recent record, with Beaufort County posting multiple iterations of a single large-scale generator installation in October 2026.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest, with posts from South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Michigan.
