NIGP 74017: Compressors and Parts

NIGP 74017 Compressors and Parts, an Item code, covers maintenance, repair, and replacement services for compressor systems across fire departments, school districts, county facilities, and industrial operations, with recent activity driven by HVAC preventive maintenance contracts, emergency breathing air system upgrades, and specialized equipment servicing. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county purchasing divisions, fire departments, school districts, and facilities management offices; the City of Indianapolis and Marion County Purchasing Division, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and San Luis Obispo County appear as repeat active buyers. Work currently being solicited ranges from quarterly air quality testing and semi-annual preventive maintenance for fire department SCBA compressors to school bus air-conditioning system repairs and HVAC unit servicing at county facilities, with vendors often required to meet manufacturer specifications, EPA compliance standards, and refrigerant handling certifications.
