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

NIGP 76028 Engines, Diesel and Gasoline (Heavy Equipment), an Item code, covers diesel and gasoline fuel supply, engine and equipment repair and overhaul services, and heavy equipment acquisitions for state and local fleets and operations. State and local governments procure fuel in bulk for vehicle fleets and facilities; repair and maintenance services for diesel engines, transmissions, and chassis systems in buses, trucks, and construction equipment; and capital purchases or leases of heavy equipment including compactors, dozers, excavators, loaders, and bucket trucks for public works, water utilities, waste management, and transit operations. Issuing bodies span counties (Hunt County, Texas; Franklin County, Mississippi; Sacramento County, California; Ventura County, California; Collier County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California; Broward County, Florida; Harris County, Texas); cities (Tampa, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; Valdosta, Georgia); special-purpose districts and water authorities (Macon Water Authority, Georgia; Metropolitan Transit Authority, Texas); and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Axia Cooperative). Transit authorities and water authorities appear as repeat buyers for fleet repair and equipment procurement.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California, with notable concentration in California (Santa Clara County bridge and guardrail projects), Florida (Tampa fleet repair, Broward County bus engine and transmission overhaul, Miami-area transit DEF supply), and Texas (METRO DEF procurement, Hunt County fuel). Representative opportunities include the City of Tampa RFP for diesel vehicle and equipment repair services (June 29, 2026 response date), requiring ASE or manufacturer certifications and facility capacity for Classes 2–8 trucks and fire apparatus with three-year contract and SLBE set-aside weighting; Sacramento County Department of Waste Management RFP for full-service operating leases of two tractor dozers and one landfill compactor (July 22, 2026, with minimum 95 percent equipment availability and $75 per-hour penalties for shortfalls); and Broward County Transportation Department ITB for Cummins engine and chassis system repair services for BCT Bus Fleet (June 1, 2026, open-end indefinite-quantity with FTA compliance and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements). METRO's DEF procurement for transit buses generated three near-identical IFB postings (February and March 2026 close dates) for up to 375,000 gallons annually over three years across five Houston facilities, emphasizing the scale of fuel procurement for transit fleets.
