NIGP 29550: Moving Walks and Parts

NIGP 29550 Moving Walks And Parts, an Item code, encompasses maintenance, repair, and cleaning services for escalators and moving walkways that state and local governments procure on an as-needed or contract basis. Recent solicitations show that purchasing bodies seek industrial-grade deep-cleaning services using specialized equipment, routine and emergency repair and maintenance under annual or multi-year agreements, and parts or materials for escalator upkeep. Issuing bodies include municipal governments managing public facilities such as convention centers, transit properties, and municipal buildings; the City of Phoenix and City of Fort Worth have both posted solicitations under this code in the past two months.

The City of Phoenix issued IFB-PCC-26-0159 on June 4, 2026, seeking sealed offers for escalator cleaning services at the Phoenix Convention Center (West Building with 10 escalators and North Building with 18 escalators) on an as-needed basis, with offers due July 22, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-offer conference and site visit on June 24, 2026. Pricing is per-unit per escalator cleaned, firm-fixed for the initial one-year period, and the contract runs for five years commencing on or about December 1, 2026; contractors must have five years of operations focused on escalator cleaning and two years of recent experience with industrial deep-cleaning machines, and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $2,000,000 General Aggregate and $1,000,000 Each Occurrence. The City of Fort Worth concurrently seeks proposals (solicitation 260225, RFP, due July 30, 2026) to establish non-exclusive agreements for elevator and escalator maintenance and repair services for the Property Management Department and Public Events Department on an as-needed basis. Both Texas municipalities are representative of recent geographic activity in the Southwest and likely reflect broader municipal demand for escalator services at public-facing facilities.
