NIGP 82072: Hot Water Generators

NIGP Item 82072, Hot Water Generators, encompasses emergency generator service and repairs — inspection, testing, maintenance, corrective maintenance, and emergency response on standby power equipment across multiple public facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county sheriff departments, municipal utilities and housing authorities, and regional government service centers. Scope spans as-needed maintenance contracts with 24/7 emergency-response requirements, inspections and testing protocols tied to manufacturer specifications, corrective and preventive repair labor, materials supply, and equipment rental. County and local housing authorities dominate recent activity, with issuing bodies requiring bidders to hold current electrical contractor licenses (such as California C-10), maintain manufacturer certifications, and meet insurance minimums including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Auto Liability coverage.
