NIGP 06042: Filters: Air, Fuel, Oil, Power Steering, Transmission and Water, and Pcv Valves

NIGP 06042 Filters: Air, Fuel, Oil, Power Steering, Transmission And Water, And Pcv Valves is an Item code covering filters for vehicle maintenance and facility operations that state and local governments procure through recurring term and annual supply contracts. The code encompasses both motor vehicle filters—oil, air, fuel, transmission, and coolant filters for fleet and school bus operations—and HVAC air filters for district-wide facilities, as well as industrial filtration equipment such as butterfly valves and strainers for water treatment plants. Issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Cherokee County Schools, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Klein ISD, Rockwood School District), municipalities (City of Orlando, City of Phoenix, City of Tampa, City of Bridgeport), county transit and water authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Department of Water Resources, Alameda County Water District, Great Lakes Water Authority), and state departments (Maryland Environmental Service, South Dakota Department of Transportation). School districts and city fleet operations emerge as repeat buyers of vehicle filters and lubricants under both competitive sealed bids and RFQs, while county water authorities solicit specialized valves and filtration components.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Southwest with activity in Florida (Pinellas County Schools' motor vehicle filters IFB, Hillsborough County Public Schools' school bus air-conditioning maintenance RFP with shop fluid components, Orlando's motor oil and recycling IFB, Tampa's automotive shop supplies RFQ), Georgia (Gwinnett County's butterfly valve procurements for Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants, Cherokee County Schools' HVAC air filter services RFP), Arizona (Phoenix's five-year air compressor and dryer contract across seven water and wastewater treatment facilities), and California (Orange County Transportation Authority's hazardous waste oils and fluids removal and recycling RFQ for $55,000 annually). Additional activity appears in Texas (Bell County's conventional water treatment plant filter gallery modifications at $2.25 million, Lubbock's rate of flow controller and butterfly valve ITB), Massachusetts (Town of Andover's air filters IFB), Michigan (Great Lakes Water Authority's job order contract), Maryland (statewide used oil and antifreeze recycling RFP), and South Dakota (automotive filters for regional DOT shops). Contract values range from approximately $55,000 annually for single-district filter supplies to $2.25 million for infrastructure-scale water treatment modifications. Notice types include IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates primarily between May and October 2026, reflecting cyclical budgeting and academic-year procurement timing for school districts and municipal fleet operations.
