NIGP 55730: Engines, Complete

NIGP 55730 Engines, Complete (Item) covers the procurement and repair of complete engines for state and local vehicle fleets, primarily transit bus operations. State and local governments use this code to solicit new engines, remanufactured engines ready for drop-in installation, engine rebuild and exchange services, and comprehensive engine maintenance for existing fleet assets. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies acquiring engines to support ongoing fleet operations and repair cycles, with work ranging from outright engine purchase to authorized service-facility repair, rebuild, and warranty work performed at county-maintained facilities.

Transit authorities and county transportation departments dominate recent activity under this code. The Broward County Transportation Department and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO) posted competitive solicitations in the first quarter of 2026. Broward County issued an open-end indefinite quantity contract (TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026) for Cummins engine and chassis system repair, rebuild, exchange, and maintenance services through authorized Cummins service facilities, with work at two Pompano Beach and Dania Beach locations and performance requirements including 24-hour response times and seven-day engine replacement cycles. METRO issued an Invitation for Bids (IFBDOC2091329922, due April 15, 2026) for new and remanufactured Cummins engines under a three-year requirements contract with quantities ranging from 2 to 10 units annually across 19 line items, with a pre-bid briefing on April 7, 2026. Both solicitations specify Cummins engines exclusively, require manufacturer warranties (extended to five years for Broward rebuild work, minimum two years for METRO delivery), and carry 100 percent federal transit funding with Federal Transit Administration compliance and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. Geographic activity centers on Florida and Texas, with additional procurement likely across other states with substantial transit bus fleets, though recent public solicitations in this sample do not extend beyond those two states.
