NIGP 55730: Engines, Complete

NIGP 55730 Engines, Complete is an Item code covering the procurement and repair of complete engine units, including specialized powerplants such as compressed-natural-gas (CNG) engines and diesel units for transit bus fleets and specialized transportation equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing engine repair and maintenance services on an as-needed basis, engine rebuilds with extended warranties, and complete engine units for specialized rolling stock. The issuing bodies include county transportation authorities, state purchasing divisions, and municipal transit departments. Work falls into two primary streams: non-warranty repair services on engines no longer covered by manufacturer protection, and comprehensive rebuild and maintenance contracts supporting fleet operations with response-time guarantees and parts-and-labor warranties extending up to five years.

Recent solicitation activity shows the code active in California, Florida, and Nevada. The Orange County Transportation Authority posted RFQ 260538 on September 17, 2026, seeking non-warranty repairs on Cummins CNG engines (ISL-G and L9N series) for bus fleet operations at a $20,000 one-year firm-fixed-price, with quotes due September 17, 2026 and responses must come from Cummins-certified repair dealerships or authorized service centers. Broward County Transportation Department issued an open-end indefinite-quantity contract (TRN2132053B1) closing June 1, 2026, for engine rebuilds, engine exchanges, and chassis system repairs across multiple bus manufacturers, requiring authorized Cummins facilities and Florida-licensed repair vendors with minimum two years' heavy-truck experience, 24-hour response times, and extended warranties covering parts and labor. The State of Nevada Department of Administration posted ITB 10TCAS4014 on September 16, 2026, for a complete SD28-3 #652 Locomotive due October 6, 2026, with a 5% Nevada-production preference and an additional 5% preference for veteran-owned businesses with service-connected disabilities. Federal Transit Administration funding compliance, including Buy America certifications and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, applies to transit authority contracts.
