NIGP 34036: Fire Pump, Back Carrying Type

NIGP 34036 Fire Pump, Back Carrying Type is an Item code that captures portable, hand-carried fire suppression equipment procurement by state and local governments. Based on recent opportunities, state and local procurement under this code occurs primarily within integrated fire and life safety contracts where back-carrying fire pumps are specified as part of broader inspections, testing, maintenance, and repair service packages. The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia's 26-054 City-Wide Fire System Inspections RFP (due July 17, 2026) and the Boulder County Housing Authority's Fire Safety Services solicitation (due June 8, 2026) both reference fire pump testing, maintenance, and certification within comprehensive fire protection scopes that encompass detection systems, sprinkler systems, and suppression equipment. State and local issuing bodies include municipalities (Sandy Springs, South Fulton), county housing authorities (Boulder County), and counties procuring cataloged equipment inventories (Bergen County, Riverside County). Cities and counties solicit these services through RFPs, RFQs, and RFBs, typically bundling portable and stationary fire suppression equipment within multi-facility life safety contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Colorado, New Jersey, and California. The City of South Fulton, Georgia's RFP 26-16 for Fire and Life Safety Inspection, Repairs, and Monitoring (due April 2, 2026) required NICET-certified technicians for compliance with NFPA 20, 25, and 72 standards across 31 city facilities including fire stations and administrative buildings. Bergen County, New Jersey established a twenty-four-month indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract (commencing June 5, 2026) for Firefighting Equipment and Rescue Tools, including fire pumps, with pricing structured as a percentage markup from manufacturer's suggested retail price and fourteen-business-day delivery requirements; this contract extends to New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance members across over 270 entities. Riverside County, California issued an RFB (due February 13, 2026) for Cla-Val parts warehouse inventory. Qualification requirements across recent opportunities consistently demand NICET Level II certification or higher, documented experience with multifamily and government facilities, compliance with NFPA standards, and comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance. Local-presence requirements appear in selective solicitations—Sandy Springs requires demonstrated presence in the greater Atlanta/North Georgia region—while set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction.
