NIGP 11018: Conveyor and Elevator: Canvas and Duck

NIGP 11018 Conveyor and Elevator: Canvas and Duck, an Item code, covers maintenance, repair, and modernization of vertical conveyance systems including elevators, material handling units, and chair lifts at municipal facilities. State and local governments procure ongoing preventive maintenance contracts, emergency repair services, component testing, and full modernization projects under this code. Issuing bodies include city governments and county purchasing departments; the City of Tucson appears as a repeat buyer, posting both an annual requirements contract for comprehensive preventive maintenance across multiple facilities and a capital modernization project for City Hall elevators in recent months.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona. The City of Tucson issued RFP 260200 for Maintenance & Repair of Vertical Conveyance Systems due July 7, 2026, seeking an annual requirements contract covering routine preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency repair, annual and five-year testing, and full-time emergency communication monitoring across approximately 47 units in 40 city buildings. The scope required local business presence, locally-based technicians, and compliance with Section 3 employment and DBE participation provisions tied to HUD and FTA funding. The City also posted IFB 240093 for City Hall Elevator Modernization due June 12, 2024 (now past), targeting complete modernization of two passenger elevators with an estimated value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, subject to prevailing wage and performance bonding requirements. A relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department (July 14, 2026) does not constitute a procurement opportunity.
