NIGP 55733: Engine Parts

NIGP 55733 Engine Parts, an Item code, covers replacement components and assemblies for engines used in transit buses, school district fleets, and municipal vehicles — including sensors, filters, hoses, valves, harnesses, coolers, and complete engines purchased as part of maintenance and repair programs across state and local transit authorities, school districts, and county governments. State and local buyers under this code include transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Broward County Transportation, Houston METRO), school districts (Parkway School District in Missouri, Rockwood School District in Missouri), and county purchasing offices (Dallas County, San Antonio). Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's annual contract for Cummins engine parts through its Solid Waste Management Department (RFx 6100019297, bids due June 5, 2026, pre-submittal conference May 26, 2026), Broward County Transportation's open-end indefinite quantity contract for Cummins engine and chassis system repair services on buses manufactured 2009–2022 (TRN2132053B1, bids due June 1, 2026, with response requirements including 24-hour acknowledgment, two-day estimates, and extended warranties up to five years), and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County's invitation for bids for new and remanufactured Cummins engines for transit buses across 19 line items (IFBDOC2091329922, bids due April 15, 2026, three-year requirements contract with pre-bid briefing April 7, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, particularly Dallas County (DART has issued more than thirty purchase orders for individual engine components since late January 2026, with response windows typically three to five days) and the Houston and San Antonio metropolitan areas. Beyond Texas, solicitations appear in Missouri (Parkway School District, Rockwood School District) and Florida (Broward County). DART's volume of small-dollar component procurements reflects ongoing fleet maintenance at the transit-authority level; larger school district and county purchasing offices typically bundle parts in annual blanket agreements or multi-year requirements contracts that allow as-needed ordering. Cummins engines dominate the heavy-duty and transit-bus segment, appearing in at least five major solicitations since March 2026; vendors responding to engine-part codes should expect brand-specific requirements tied to existing fleet compositions. Federal Transit Administration funding appears in Broward County's solicitation, triggering Buy America, prevailing wage, and extensive compliance certifications. Most state and local issuers do not post set-aside designations or disadvantaged-enterprise goals in the available documentation, though Broward County notes its solicitation is not subject to DBE set-asides. Payment terms cluster at Net 30; delivery timelines are consistently identified as essential, with penalties for lateness including order rejection and termination for default.
