NIGP 55780: Undercarriage/Frame (Including Alignment Parts)

NIGP 55780 Undercarriage/Frame (Including Alignment Parts), an Item code, covers OEM replacement parts and repair services for vehicle undercarriages and related structural components that state and local governments buy to maintain bus fleets, service vehicles, and other municipal transportation assets. Recent solicitations show school districts and state departments procuring both parts inventory and full-service repair and maintenance labor under this code, with vendors expected to maintain adequate stock, source unavailable parts within tight timeframes, and provide professional facility-based repair operations with qualified personnel.

Parkway School District in Missouri posted a Request for Bid (solicitation 26120, due May 19, 2026) for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service under a blanket purchase order covering a 24-month term, requiring vendors to supply parts on an as-needed basis and perform all repair and maintenance work on the district's bus fleet, with award based on lowest or best bid and factors including vendor ability to supply most required items and prior experience with the district. The State of Nevada Purchasing Division issued a competitive quote request (solicitation 40DHHSS3859, due May 27, 2026) for a Battery Back-up system on behalf of the Nevada Department of Human Services, posted April 30, 2026, with no product substitutions permitted and submission required through the NevadaEPro portal. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Midwest and Western jurisdictions, with school districts and state departments as the primary issuing bodies, though the recent-opportunities block provides limited visibility into broader geographic patterns or repeat-buyer concentration.
