NIGP 55705: Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilation

NIGP 55705 Air Conditioning, Heating and Ventilation is an Item code under which state and local governments procure equipment installation, maintenance, repair, and component replacement for building climate-control systems—including boiler and chiller retrofits, HVAC system upgrades, building automation controls integration, energy recovery ventilator repair, preventative and corrective maintenance contracts, and specialty components such as air duct accessories, compressor oils, and retrofit kits. Recent solicitations span county and city facilities, water treatment plants, detention centers, airports, schools, and transit authorities. Issuing bodies include county facilities management departments (Orange County Florida, Escambia County Florida, Monroe County Florida), city water and public works divisions (City of Tampa, City of Waco, City of Wheat Ridge Colorado), school districts (Rockwood School District Missouri, Parkway School District Missouri, Norwalk Public Schools Connecticut, South Haven Public Schools Michigan), airport authorities (Broward County Aviation Department), and special districts (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Oregon Military Department). Procurement spans routine parts and filters to major system replacements; representative opportunities include Orange County Florida's $2.89 million Corrections Booking and Release Center building automation and smoke control system retrofit under sealed bid (response due October 20, 2026), Broward County Aviation Department's open-end indefinite-quantity contract for central energy plant maintenance and chiller rental services at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport under ITB (response due October 7, 2026), and Escambia County Florida's boiler and pump installation at the MC Blanchard Judicial Building under ITB (response due October 7, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orange, Escambia, Monroe, Broward counties; City of Tampa) and Texas (Dallas County, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, City of Waco), with additional recent solicitations in Colorado, Missouri, Michigan, Connecticut, and Georgia. Dallas County has posted multiple component-level procurements (compressor oil, valve assemblies, gaskets, tension rollers) suggesting ongoing fleet or facilities maintenance. Set-asides and preferences appear in several solicitations: Orange County Florida offers 5% Service Disabled Veteran-owned business preference; Broward County Aviation Department applies SBE and CBE procurement preference with local-business matching rights and incorporates federal DBE Program requirements; City of Tampa sheltered-market solicitation for SLBE-certified firms with 5% bid discount. Pre-bid meetings and site inspections are common; response windows range from three days (Dallas County component purchases) to three weeks (multi-million-dollar system replacements). Insurance, bonding, and licensing requirements are standard across jurisdictions, with prevailing wage obligations appearing in school and public-facility projects subject to Davis-Bacon compliance.
