NIGP 55734: Filters: Air, Fuel, Oil, etc.

NIGP 55734 Filters: Air, Fuel, Oil, Etc., an Item code, encompasses replacement filters for HVAC systems, vehicle engines, and mobile equipment that state and local governments procure to maintain fleet and facility operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing across three primary filter categories: commercial HVAC filters specified to ASHRAE and UL standards for schools and public facilities; automotive and heavy-duty truck oil and fuel filters for motor pools and transit fleets; and component filters integral to water treatment and specialty equipment, all typically supplied under firm fixed-price or awarded-vendor agreements with multi-year terms.

State agencies, county transportation and water districts, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities issue most solicitations under this code. The Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, Pinellas County School District, South Dakota Department of Transportation, Broward County Transportation Department, Alameda County Water District, and Parkway and Rockwood school districts in Missouri all solicited filters in the past three months; the mix reflects heavy participation by school districts procuring both HVAC filters for facilities and fleet maintenance filters for bus operations. Recent opportunities span Connecticut (Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, RFB for air filters, due July 23, 2026), Florida (Pinellas County School District, RFB for motor vehicle filters, due July 27, 2026), South Dakota (Department of Transportation, IFB for automotive filters across four regional locations, due May 8, 2026), Missouri (Parkway School District, RFB for bus and vehicle OEM parts including filters, due May 19, 2026; Rockwood School District R-VI, sealed bid for bus and fleet vehicle parts, due April 9, 2026), and California (Alameda County Water District, IFB for fuel supply with regional delivery, due May 15, 2026). Geographic distribution clusters in the Upper Midwest and South, with secondary activity in California and the Northeast. The code sees steady baseline demand across multiple issuing-body types with no single dominant buyer type; school districts appear as consistent participants due to ongoing fleet maintenance obligations.
