NIGP 55994: Windshield Wipers, Parts and Accessories

NIGP 55994 Windshield Wipers, Parts and Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement and component parts for vehicle fleets, though recent solicitation activity shows scope extending beyond traditional windshield wiper assemblies to related vehicle accessory and fluid-system components. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) is the issuing body represented in recent posted opportunities, procuring discrete mechanical and electrical components including remote-filler spouts and power supplies. Solicitations under this code appear driven by fleet maintenance operations at transit authorities rather than broader municipal or county purchasing, with vendors required to meet strict FOB Destination shipping terms, Net 30 payment processing, and documented delivery schedules that are material to performance.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with DART posting two opportunities between March and June 2026: a power supply procurement (IC196, 24VDC, 150W) due March 13, 2026, and a remote-filler spout (Item 2099408) due June 24, 2026. Both solicitations enforce identical compliance requirements — Bonfire registration for bid access, triplicate invoice submission to APInvoices@dart.org, freight costs included in quoted price, and seller liability for delivery schedule failures. DART specifies Net 30 payment from the later of invoice or order receipt and retains termination-for-default authority when delivery timelines are not met. No dollar values or incumbent vendor names appear in posted materials. Activity under this code appears limited to transit-authority fleet maintenance rather than distributed across multiple jurisdictions.
