NIGP 74088: Water Filters, Ice Machine

NIGP 74088 Water Filters, Ice Machine is an Item code covering routine maintenance, repair, and component replacement for commercial ice-making equipment deployed across institutional and public facilities. State and local governments use this code to procure ice machine cleaning and sanitization services, preventative maintenance programs, replacement filters and parts, repair labor, and complete equipment installations. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, state health agencies, and municipal departments, with work typically performed at multiple distributed locations—fire stations, recreation facilities, schools, parks, administrative buildings, and healthcare facilities. The code sees activity from diverse jurisdictions: Pinellas County Schools (Florida), Henry County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the City of Philadelphia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and others. Procurement vehicles range from RFQs and RFPs to IFBs and micro purchases, with contract scopes varying from single-vendor all-or-nothing awards covering dozens of locations to line-item awards allowing partial awards by equipment type or location.

Recent opportunities reflect sustained demand for ice machine services across the South and mid-Atlantic. The Pinellas County School District issued RFQ 26JG006 (due April 30, 2026) seeking cleaning, sanitization, and water filter installation at 121 school locations under an estimated $45,000 annual contract with four renewal options; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016924 (due February 17, 2026) for energy-efficient ice machines, comprehensive maintenance plans, and installation services at two Austin campuses with an expected contract value exceeding $100,000 and HUB subcontracting requirements at 26 percent; Henry County, Georgia, issued RFP 26-25 (due February 4, 2026) for preventative maintenance and repair of 76 county-owned ice machines distributed across multiple municipalities with scoring weighted 35 percent qualifications, 20 percent staff experience, 35 percent methodology, and 10 percent cost; and the City of Philadelphia issued micro purchase B2626691 (due April 8, 2026) for ice machines and components not to exceed $43,000 with CPI-U annual adjustments. Vendor requirements consistently include five or more years of relevant experience, comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance, background clearances where school or health-facility access is required, and demonstration of capacity to service multiple equipment manufacturers (Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Hoshizaki, Kool-Air).
