NIGP 110: Belts and Belting: Automotive and Industrial

NIGP 110 Belts and Belting: Automotive and Industrial, a Class code, encompasses belts, belting components, and related fastening or drive-transmission materials that state and local governments source for fleet maintenance, vehicle repair, and heavy-equipment operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing belts and belting as part of broader automotive parts and supplies bundles — including oils, lubricants, filters, fasteners, hoses, and shop consumables — rather than as standalone line items, reflecting procurement patterns where belts are consolidated into fleet and equipment maintenance catalogs. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California, Sarasota County Transit in Florida), counties (Flagler County in Florida, Jackson County in Missouri), municipal departments (City of Tucson in Arizona, City of Owensboro in Kentucky), state agencies (State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services), school districts (Klein Independent School District in Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas public entities). Transit authorities and county fleet operations appear as repeat buyers, particularly for vehicle maintenance and repair supply aggregates where belts and related drivetrain components are specified items.

Recent procurement activity centers on Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, Oregon, and Kentucky. Representative current solicitations include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's TRAN2628 Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid for transportation maintenance and supplies (bids due November 17, 2026, estimated total expenditures $20.846 million over two years), Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB 250457 for miscellaneous auto and shop supplies including belts and fasteners (re-solicitation with bids due September 1, 2026, estimated contract value $500,000 over two years), Flagler County's ITB 26ITB016 for automotive parts and supplies supporting fleet and equipment operations (bids due July 1, 2026), and State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services' RFP S-10700-00016861 for OEM and aftermarket auto parts and related services on a statewide master agreement basis (proposals due September 24, 2026, pricing submitted as percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price). These solicitations typically use cooperative purchasing vehicles, multi-vendor awards, and catalog-discount or as-needed ordering models rather than fixed-quantity commitments.
