NIGP 56585: Ventilators, Screened

NIGP 56585 Ventilators, Screened (Item) covers repair and maintenance services for screened ventilation equipment, including energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) used in institutional and commercial facilities. State and local governments procure under this code the removal, replacement, and restoration of major mechanical and electrical components on operating ERV units, along with associated startup verification, testing, and sanitization. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement departments administering facilities such as detention centers, correctional institutions, and other public buildings where climate control and air exchange are critical infrastructure components.

The City of Augusta, Georgia Procurement Department recently issued ITB 26-177 on September 10, 2026, requesting sealed bids for repair of two Trane ERV units at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center, with bids due October 9, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The scope includes component replacement, belt and pulley alignment, electrical terminations, motor verification, startup checks, and unit sanitization on two units (ERV-1H and ERV-1G) located in separate facility pods. The City waived its Local Small Business Program Preference due to insufficient certified vendors in the available pool. Bidders must submit lump sum pricing with itemized parts and labor costs, and an optional site visit was available through September 24, 2026.
