NIGP 51515: Engines, Motors, and Parts (for Lawn Equipment)

NIGP 51515 Engines, Motors, And Parts (For Lawn Equipment) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure engines, motors, replacement parts, and repair services for commercial-grade outdoor power equipment including mowers, trimmers, chainsaws, blowers, and grounds-maintenance machinery. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies purchasing parts inventories for statewide or district-wide use, outsourcing equipment repair and maintenance services to contractors who stock parts and employ trained technicians, and establishing master contracts and cooperative purchasing frameworks that make parts and repair services available to multiple departments or jurisdictions on an as-needed basis. Counties, cities, community college districts, state departments, and special-purpose districts issue solicitations under this code. Rockland County (New York) and Collin County Community College District (Texas) have posted recent opportunities seeking service-and-repair contractors to maintain grounds-keeping equipment fleets; the Illinois Department of Central Management Services established a joint purchase master contract for John Deere mower repair parts available to governmental units throughout Illinois; and the City of Tucson issued an IFB for outdoor power equipment, parts, and repair services for citywide departmental use.

Recent activity spans New York, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services' JPMC John Deere mower repair parts contract (26416CMSBOSS4B52305, due August 11, 2026) requires newly manufactured parts meeting OEM specifications, firm pricing for one year, and vendors carry general commercial liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence; the contract runs through November 30, 2031, with potential extension to ten years. The City of Tucson's IFB 260207 for outdoor power equipment, parts, and repair services (due June 12, 2026) seeks multiple vendors to supply gas-powered and electric hand-held equipment from manufacturers including Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Briggs and Stratton, Honda, Makita, Milwaukee, and Dewalt, with vendors required to maintain local service facilities, trained technicians, and parts inventory; the contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewals. Rockland County's RFB RFBRC2026056 (due October 15, 2026) requests service and repair for grounds-keeping equipment across county facilities with labor rates and percentage discounts off MSRP for parts. Collin County Community College District's ITB FY2024ITB037 (due July 10, 2024) sought grounds equipment, parts, and supplies across ten campuses with an estimated annual expenditure of $48,000 and required vendors to maintain a local physical presence within a 75-mile radius.
