NIGP 06047: Fuel System: Carburetors and Kits, Fuel Pumps, Tanks and Caps, etc.

NIGP 06047 Fuel System: Carburetors and Kits, Fuel Pumps, Tanks and Caps, Etc., an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, inspection, maintenance, and repair of above-ground and underground fuel storage tanks, dispensers, pumps, piping systems, and related fuel infrastructure components that state and local governments operate at maintenance facilities, fleet operations centers, highway garages, and public works depots. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, county public works offices, school districts, and transit authorities procuring complete fuel tank systems—including tank removal, installation of new double-wall storage tanks configured for multiple fuel types (unleaded, diesel, E85), dispensers, fuel management systems, and compliance testing—as well as standalone inspection, maintenance, and repair services for existing tank infrastructure.

Activity under this code concentrates in California (Caltrans District offices in Riverside, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Mono, Orange, and Fresno Counties; California Department of General Services; California Science Center), Missouri (Department of Transportation), Colorado (Boulder County Public Works), Georgia (Gwinnett County Public Schools; Bryan County Public Works), Massachusetts (Town of Sheffield), Illinois (Cook County), and other states. Recent opportunities include the Missouri Department of Transportation's fuel tank replacement at the Bolivar Maintenance Facility (IFB; bids due August 20, 2026; three double-wall tanks with piping and disposal); Boulder County Building Services' replacement of a 10,000-gallon above-ground tank in Nederland, Colorado (IFB BID31626; bids due October 27, 2026); Caltrans District 08's fuel pump and tank services in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (IFB 08A3968; bids due May 19, 2026; routine and non-routine repair, testing, and certification); the California Department of Transportation's antenna lowering and above-ground fuel tank installation and disposal across Kern and Mono Counties (IFPQ 09A1157; SB/DVBE-only set-aside; quotes due October 22, 2026); and the Orange County Transportation Authority's compressed natural gas fuel tank replacement on transit buses (IFB 250095; estimated contract value $2.7 million; bids due April 20, 2026). Set-asides are common: Caltrans regularly restricts small-business opportunities; Missouri encourages MBE/WBE participation and applies service-disabled veteran preference; California applies small-business and DVBE incentives and preferences. Prevailing wage applies to most public-works contracts exceeding $15,000 to $25,000 depending on jurisdiction. Performance bonds (typically 100 percent of contract value) and liability insurance (general liability $600,000 to $2 million per occurrence) are standard requirements.
