NIGP 19220: Cold-Tank and Soak-Tank Cleaners (for Heavy Duty Shop Use, etc.)

NIGP 19220 Cold-Tank and Soak-Tank Cleaners (For Heavy Duty Shop Use, Etc.), an Item code, covers maintenance, repair, and preventive-maintenance services for industrial parts-washing equipment that state and local governments operate in maintenance shops and fleet facilities. The scope encompasses labor for equipment repair and routine servicing, replacement parts at negotiated discounts, and manufacturer-authorized technical support. Issuing bodies include municipal fleet operations (such as the City of Austin) and, through cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell, regional consortia of counties and public entities coordinating equipment procurement and support across multiple jurisdictions.

The City of Austin posted IFB 7800TJP1031 on September 14, 2026, soliciting maintenance and repair services for Dyna-Brute automotive parts washers, with bids due October 20, 2026; the contract includes an estimated $30,000 annual parts spend and approximately 400 repair hours annually across 35 units, with a 36-month initial term and optional extensions. A local business preference of 5% (capped at $500,000) and 3% ($500,000–$50 million) applies; the contractor must hold manufacturer authorization, carry specified insurance, and comply with Austin's $22.15 per-hour living wage requirement. A Sourcewell RFP (#061626) issued May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) demonstrates that cooperative purchasing leverages this code across multiple Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide. Geographic activity centers on Texas and the upper Pacific Northwest, with broader participation available through state and regional cooperative vehicles.
