NIGP 72019: Compressors, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

NIGP 72019 Compressors, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), an Item code, covers repair, maintenance, and emergency services for CNG compressor systems at municipal fueling stations. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring multi-year preventative and emergency maintenance contracts for specialized compressor, storage, dispenser, and fuel management infrastructure serving municipal vehicle fleets and public fueling networks. The solicitations attract city utilities and municipal service departments responsible for CNG fleet operations and public access stations.

The City of Palo Alto issued the most recent substantial opportunity: RFP 196426, due January 13, 2026, for compressed natural gas compressor repair and maintenance services covering two municipal fueling stations (one public, one fleet-focused) over a three-year term from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2029. The contract requires certified technicians capable of quarterly preventative maintenance, annual comprehensive maintenance, 24-hour emergency repair response with a 4-hour service window, and regulatory compliance documentation; the estimated annual parts budget alone reaches $10,000, suggesting contract value substantially higher than consumables. Georgia also posts activity under the code: the Town of Trion issued IFB PE66258NONST2026000000002, due September 17, 2026, for natural gas system construction including installation of 200 feet of 6-inch steel gas main at 285 psi operating pressure, though this opportunity blends infrastructure installation with equipment work. Recent opportunities concentrate in the West (California) and Southeast (Georgia), with issuing bodies limited to municipal utilities and small towns.
