NIGP 90934 Conveying Systems: Elevators, Lifts, Etc., an Item code, encompasses elevator and escalator replacement, modernization, and maintenance services that state and local governments procure for public facilities, convention centers, hospitals, detention centers, parking structures, and administrative buildings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are actively sourcing replacement and modernization of aging conveyance systems using design-bid-build and progressive design-build delivery, along with turnkey preventive maintenance and emergency repair contracts covering inspection, testing, and break-fix services across multi-unit facility portfolios.

Issuing bodies span county governments, city procurement offices, special-purpose authorities, and regional agencies. Orange County, Florida; Hillsborough County, Florida; Henry County, Georgia; the District of Columbia Department of General Services; the Tampa Sports Authority; the Georgia World Congress Center Authority; and the City of Tucson have posted solicitations under this code in the past two months. Work spreads across Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. Representative recent opportunities include Orange County's $21.665 million elevator-escalator replacement at the Convention Center Campus (RFP Y27-705, bids due October 20, 2026), the Tampa Sports Authority's elevator and escalator modernization at Raymond James Stadium (RFP 25-17, proposals due September 22, 2026 with SBE and Veteran Owned Business participation weighted at 10 points), Henry County's annual elevator maintenance contract for eighteen units across county facilities (RFP 27-17, proposals due October 6, 2026, with evaluation favoring qualifications and experience at 35 points and key staff availability at 25 points), and the District of Columbia's multi-group turnkey conveyance system inspection, maintenance, and break-fix services across 318 elevators and lifts (IFB DCAM-27-NC-IFB-0001, bids due September 30, 2026, with mandatory DBE/SBE subcontracting tiers). Service Contract Act wage requirements, prevailing wage compliance, performance and payment bonding at 100 percent of contract value, and commercial general liability insurance in the $1 million to $5 million range are standard across all large replacement and modernization efforts. Maintenance contracts emphasize 24/7 emergency response times, Class 1-certified technicians, and firm pricing over multi-year initial terms with optional renewals.
