NIGP 55793: Windshield Wipers, Washers, Parts and Accessories

NIGP 55793 Windshield Wipers, Washers, Parts And Accessories, an Item code, covers OEM replacement parts and components for vehicle fleet maintenance that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis. Recent activity shows school districts and transit authorities sourcing windshield wiper assemblies, washer fluid systems, and related hardware as part of blanket purchase order agreements for ongoing bus and vehicle fleet repair. The issuing-body mix is predominantly school districts managing transportation fleets, supported by selective participation from municipal and county vehicle maintenance operations. Vendors serving this code typically operate as parts distributors with the ability to stock common components, source unavailable items within days, and support installation labor where contractually required.

Parkway School District in Missouri issued a Request for Bid in May 2026 (solicitation 26120, due May 19, 2026) for Bus & Vehicle OEM Parts & Service under a 24-month blanket purchase order agreement. The District sought qualified local vendors to supply OEM replacement parts for its bus fleet on an as-needed basis, with specifications requiring F.O.B. destination pricing, new equipment only, adequate parts inventory, and three-day parts-availability performance. Insurance and bonding requirements included Commercial General Liability at $1,000,000 combined single limits and Worker's Compensation at Missouri statutory rates. The District encouraged U.S. manufacturing and offered preference to Missouri-manufactured commodities where quality, price, and delivery are comparable. Award was to be determined on a lowest or best bid basis, with notification scheduled for June 11, 2026. No specific budget or award value was disclosed; quantities listed were stated as estimates only with no purchase guarantee.
