NIGP 74095: Recycled Refrigeration Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 74095 Recycled Refrigeration Equipment and Accessories, an Item code, covers refrigerant gases, cylinder exchange services, and HVAC/R equipment and supplies that state and local governments procure to support facilities maintenance, HVAC system repairs, and operational needs across county and municipal infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are actively purchasing refrigerant products (R-134a, R-407c) in bulk cylinders, cylinder exchange and delivery services meeting EPA and OSHA compliance standards, and broader HVAC/R equipment catalogs including compressors, motors, controls, valves, filters, and ancillary supplies for commercial and institutional applications. Issuing bodies include county governments (Galveston County, Tarrant County operating as Trinity Metro), transit authorities (Trinity Metro), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing entities (Sourcewell acting on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and broader public sector entities). Counties appear to use both single-award and multi-vendor master supply agreements to manage ongoing replacement and repair activity across multiple facilities.

Recent activity spans Texas (Galveston County and Fort Worth/Trinity Metro posted solicitations in March–April 2026) and Washington state (Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional cooperative with Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties posted May 2026). Representative solicitations include Trinity Metro's April 2026 IFB for refrigerant supply and cylinder exchange services (R-134a and R-407c, 115-pound cylinders, five-day delivery requirement, response due April 30, 2026); Galveston County's March 2026 RFP for a three-year HVAC/R equipment and supplies master supply agreement covering 86 approved manufacturers, pricing exhibits, and authorized distributor status (response due April 30, 2026); and Sourcewell's May 2026 RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington and other jurisdictions (response due June 16, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear common in this space, allowing vendors to serve multiple jurisdictions and public entities through a single framework agreement.
