NIGP 06060 Hose and Hose Fittings: Brake, Heater, Radiator, Vacuum, Washer, Wiper, Etc., an Item code, encompasses hose assemblies, replacement components, and associated fittings that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and vehicle repair operations. Recent solicitations show agencies buying hydraulic hose repair and replacement services for construction equipment and heavy-duty fleets, hose pump parts for wastewater treatment facilities, brake and cooling-system hoses for school bus fleets, and OEM hose components integrated into broader vehicle maintenance contracts. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Parkway School District), municipal departments (City of Phoenix Public Works, Atlanta Department of Watershed Management), and cooperative purchasing frameworks aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Scope spans both on-site mobile repair services with two-hour response requirements and vendor-supplied replacement components stocked for as-needed deployment, with technician certifications (refrigerant handling, hydraulic systems) frequently required.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and Missouri. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 27-FSD-0353 for hydraulic hose repair and replacement services across multiple service centers and aviation facilities, with offers due August 13, 2026 and a three-year initial term commencing November 1, 2026.
