NIGP 60070: Machine Repair Tools, Office

NIGP 60070 Machine Repair Tools, Office is an Item code covering repair equipment, replacement parts, and maintenance services for office and facility appliances. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through two channels: catalog discount agreements for copiers and related office equipment bundled with standardized commercial terms, and direct service contracts for preventative maintenance and on-site repair of kitchen and laundry appliances across county-owned facilities. Issuing bodies include purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), county governments (Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), and state-level cooperative entities (Sourcewell). Monroe County's RFP641 solicitation exemplifies typical scope: hourly rates for service calls during business hours and after-hours, percentage discounts on parts, preventative maintenance, and coverage across refrigerators, walk-in coolers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, washers, and dryers at multiple County-owned locations.

Recent activity spans the Upper Midwest and Southeast, with notable solicitations in Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative serving Texas school districts and municipalities under CM2628, a two-year copy-machine catalog discount agreement with $9,378,324 estimated expenditures, due September 29, 2026), Florida (Monroe County RFP641 for countywide appliance repair services, proposals due August 25, 2026, anticipating award October 21, 2026 with scoring weighted heavily on staff qualifications and prior experience at 60 points), and a multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, responses due June 16, 2026, serving Washington state counties and public entities nationwide). Evaluation across these opportunities prioritizes competitive pricing and commercial terms in commodity agreements, while service contracts emphasize contractor qualifications, insurance adequacy, and hourly rate structures with no reimbursement for travel or mileage.
