NIGP 81050: Smoke Generators

NIGP 81050 Smoke Generators, an Item code, encompasses generator maintenance, repair, and emergency service work that state and local governments procure to keep backup power systems operational across their facilities. Seminole County, Florida's recent RFP for routine maintenance and 24-hour emergency repairs on approximately 230 generators across multiple manufacturers illustrates the scope: contractors provide parts, labor, materials, tools, and coordination necessary for proper generator functioning under three-year term contracts with renewal options. Counties are the primary issuing bodies active under this code, as evidenced by Seminole County's multi-vendor solicitation model designed to ensure continuous emergency service capacity and geographic coverage.

Seminole County, Florida represents the geographic concentration of recent activity in the present dataset. The county posted RFP 60460823LNF on October 6, 2026 (with an original deadline of September 13, 2023), seeking multiple vendors to compete on performance and references (30% weight), services offered and warranty (30% weight), and fee structure (40% weight). Contractors must provide detailed pricing including hourly and daily rates for normal business and after-hours emergency repairs, meet E-Verify employment eligibility requirements, and carry Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Auto Policy coverage. The contract structure allows individual Release Orders specifying exact services and payment amounts, with no guaranteed minimum volume but compensation on a fixed fee basis.
