NIGP 29540: Freight Elevators and Parts

NIGP 29540 Freight Elevators And Parts, an Item code, covers elevator maintenance, repair, modernization, inspection, and parts procurement that state and local governments are actively soliciting across multiple building types—municipal offices, detention facilities, libraries, parking structures, universities, and transit centers. Recent opportunities reveal a diverse mix of work: the City of Fort Worth sought elevator and escalator maintenance agreements for municipal properties; the County of Orange, California, pursued a comprehensive maintenance contract covering Kone traction and hydraulic elevators at administrative facilities with 24/7 emergency response requirements; Cobb County issued an IFB for design, purchase, and installation of two commercial passenger hydraulic elevators at an adult detention center; and the City of San Antonio solicited freight elevator replacement at its Central Library under an estimated construction budget of $1,108,807. The scope spans preventive maintenance on fixed monthly schedules, emergency entrapment response, fire recall and load testing, full modernization and component replacement, parts supply, third-party inspection services, and specialized cleaning—reflecting the range of lifecycle and operational needs across aging and new building stock.

Issuing bodies include state higher-education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Towson University), city and county facilities management (Arlington, Fort Worth, Tucson, San Antonio, Phoenix, Madison, Columbus, Savannah, Pinellas County, Sarasota County, Orange County California), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Education Service Center Region 10 in Texas, serving multiple states through Equalis Group). Geographic spread concentrates in Texas (Arlington, Fort Worth, Tucson), California (Orange County, San Diego City), Florida (Pinellas County, Sarasota County, St. Lucie County), and Georgia (Cobb County, Columbus), with additional activity in Arizona, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
