NIGP 76502: Air Conditioners, Heaters and Ventilators for Heavy Equipment

NIGP 76502 Air Conditioners, Heaters And Ventilators For Heavy Equipment, an Item code, covers the furnishing, installation, repair, and maintenance of climate control systems for buildings, detention facilities, airports, and other public infrastructure—including preconditioned air units for aircraft boarding bridges, ductless split systems for data rooms and IT facilities, energy recovery ventilators for detention centers, and chiller maintenance and service across multiple county locations. State and local governments buy this work under the code when upgrading or servicing centralized or distributed mechanical heating and cooling systems that support critical facility operations, often in conjunction with electrical work, roofing modifications, and extended commissioning.

Recent solicitations span routine maintenance contracts, emergency repairs, and capital replacement projects, with procurement notices posted as RFPs and IFBs (Invitations to Bid).
