About NIGP 55949
NIGP 55949 Hydraulic Systems, Rail Car is an Item code covering hydraulic equipment and systems used in rail transit operations, including lifting cylinders, jacks, pumps, hoses, manifolds, and integrated hydraulic assemblies designed for specialized railroad or light rail vehicle applications. State and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement by transit authorities and county governments for both new equipment supply with installation and integration, and for maintenance and repair services on existing hydraulic systems embedded in heavy equipment fleets. The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO) and Seminole County, Florida represent the issuing bodies active in this space, with transit authorities pursuing specialized rail-focused hydraulic procurements and county governments seeking broader heavy equipment repair capability that encompasses hydraulic systems as one component of their fleet maintenance.
METRO has posted two recent solicitations that capture current activity under this code: an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued March 16, 2026, for rerailing equipment supply and re-rail truck outfitting (response due April 15, 2026) that specifies 20-ton and 45-ton hydraulic lifting cylinders, pumps, hoses, and control manifolds as line items, and a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued February 3, 2026, for traction power services on its light rail system (response due March 4, 2026) that encompasses substation maintenance and underground wire work. Seminole County, Florida issued an RFP on August 1, 2025, for on and off-road heavy equipment maintenance, repairs, and parts (response due September 3, 2025) that explicitly includes hydraulic service among its scope, targeting contractors within Central Florida and structured as an indefinite quantity agreement with initial three-year term and two one-year renewal options. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with no small business participation goals or set-aside designations in the METRO procurements.
