NIGP 55780: Undercarriage/Frame (Including Alignment Parts)

NIGP 55780 Undercarriage/Frame (Including Alignment Parts) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure OEM replacement parts and related repair and maintenance services for vehicle fleets, primarily school district bus operations. The scope of work encompasses blanket purchase orders for distributor-supplied replacement parts ordered on an as-needed basis, along with labor and materials for fleet repair and maintenance operations. Issuing bodies include school districts and state agencies; school districts appear to be the primary buyers under this code based on recent activity.

The initial contract term runs twenty-four months with extension options.
