NIGP 76028: Engines, Diesel and Gasoline (Heavy Equipment)

NIGP 76028 Engines, Diesel and Gasoline (Heavy Equipment) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure engine repair, rebuild, and overhaul services for heavy equipment fleets; full-service operating leases for diesel-powered construction equipment; and, less frequently, new equipment purchases. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying diagnostic and repair services for generators and bus fleet engines, operating leases for landfill compactors and dozers with comprehensive warranties and maintenance, and sealed bids for new mini excavators and bucket trucks powered by diesel or comparable engines. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections), county transportation and waste management agencies (Orange County Transportation Authority, Sacramento County), municipalities (City of Tampa, City of Tucson, City of Valdosta, County of Ventura), and water authorities (Macon Water Authority). Repeat buyers include Ventura County, which has posted two fuel-supply RFPs in recent months, and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicles, which aggregate demand across multiple participating jurisdictions.

Activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Illinois, Minnesota, and Mississippi. Recent representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Corrections' generator repair RFQ (27426DOCEMOLIB54104, quotes due September 28, 2026) requiring Caterpillar factory certification and diagnostic work with estimated material costs of $25,000; the Orange County Transportation Authority's non-warranty Cummins CNG engine repair RFQ (260538, quotes due September 17, 2026) for an as-needed one-year contract budgeted at $20,000; the County of Sacramento's full-service operating lease for landfill compactors and tractor dozers (2026RFP0059, proposals due July 22, 2026) specifying Tier 4 Final diesel engines, 95 percent equipment availability with $75-per-hour penalties for shortfalls, and 24-hour parts delivery; the City of Tampa's supplemental diesel fleet repair RFP (RFP #26-P-00237, proposals due June 29, 2026) seeking multiple qualified vendors for light, medium, and heavy trucks with 15 points awarded for Small Local Business Enterprise participation; and Sourcewell's cooperative heavy-equipment rental procurement (26RFP110326, proposals due November 3, 2026) covering approximately 40 equipment categories on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimums.
