NIGP 74059: Refrigeration Accessories and Supplies: Capillaries, Controls, Dryers, Expansion Valves, Refrigerant Oil, Sealants, Sight Glasses, Thermometers, Vibration Eliminators, etc.

NIGP 74059 Refrigeration Accessories and Supplies (Item) encompasses compressor components, refrigerated air dryers, prefilters, ice machine parts, and related repair materials that state and local governments source to maintain HVAC, foodservice, and commercial refrigeration systems across facilities. Recent solicitations show state agencies, county school districts, municipalities, and higher-education institutions buying repair parts for existing equipment inventories (Quincy compressor components, Scotsman ice machines), replacement filters and dryers, and bundled repair-parts packages supporting contracted maintenance services. The buying pattern reflects equipment-specific procurement tied to installed base rather than broad commodity purchasing; sole-source and brand-specific quotes dominate, reflecting compatibility and warranty requirements that lock buyers to manufacturer-approved parts channels.

State and local buyers issuing under this code include state departments (Illinois Secretary of State), large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District), municipalities (City of Tampa), higher-education facilities (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Recent activity spans Illinois, Florida, and Wisconsin, with Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative purchasing framework for law enforcement equipment extending potential reach across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Secretary of State's RFQ for Quincy compressor components due October 19, 2026, to be delivered by January 31, 2027; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services (due August 5, 2026) requiring EPA and MACS-compliant technicians trained in R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant handling; and Pinellas County School District's RFQ for ice maker cleaning and sanitation services covering 121 school locations at an estimated contract value of approximately $45,000 for the initial one-year term. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an IFB for refrigeration and foodservice equipment repair services and parts (due July 15, 2026, via ShopUW+).
