NIGP 34092: Vise, Fire Extinguisher, Pneumatic Belt

NIGP 34092 Vise, Fire Extinguisher, Pneumatic Belt is an Item code covering fire extinguisher maintenance, inspection, certification, and repair services that state and local governments procure to maintain compliance with NFPA 10 standards across their facilities and vehicle fleets. The actual work solicited under this code includes semi-annual and annual fire extinguisher inspections, recharging, hydrostatic testing, certification and labeling, equipment repair, and provision of loaner units during extended downtime—often bundled with kitchen hood suppression system inspections under NFPA 96 standards. Issuing bodies include county government purchasing offices, independent school districts, and municipal fire departments. Pinellas County, Florida and the City of South Fulton, Georgia each solicited comprehensive fire and life safety services via ITQ and RFP respectively, while Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas issued an RFP that included fire extinguisher supplies, services, and inspections as one of eight separate maintenance and athletic contract categories.

Recent activity centers in Florida, Georgia, and Texas.
