NIGP 90966: Maintenance and Repair, Educational Building

NIGP 90966 Maintenance and Repair, Educational Building is an Item code capturing the full range of facility upkeep, renovation, and system replacement that school districts, universities, and educational entities procure on an ongoing basis. State and local governments buy roof replacements, HVAC equipment upgrades, electrical and mechanical system work, restroom and office renovations, flooring installation, exterior restoration, athletic facility improvements, and grounds maintenance under this code—work that spans both emergency repairs and major capital projects at educational campuses.

Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Columbia County School District, Glynn County School System, Ann Arbor Public Schools, Furlow Charter School), county school systems (DeKalb County School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools), state universities and university systems (Valdosta State University, Texas A&M, University of Texas at Dallas, Kennesaw State University), municipal education departments, and specialized education authorities. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative leverages the code across 31 state member agencies. Representative recent opportunities include Columbia County School District's Lakeside High School roof replacement, sealed bid due August 18, 2026; the City of Meriden's $101.2 million new Casimir Pulaski Elementary School project management, proposals due July 29, 2026 (RFQ/P027-07); Fort Bend ISD's multiple athletic and HVAC renovation contracts via competitive sealed proposal through Bonfire; and the City of Plant City's 1914 High School Community Center historic preservation restoration, RFP due April 30, 2026, with estimated rehabilitation costs of $7.7 million. Work solicited ranges from small task-order contracts for pressure washing and bay door inspections to multimillion-dollar design-build and construction-manager-at-risk deliveries for new construction and major system replacement.

Activity is distributed across Georgia (Columbia County School District, DeKalb County, Gwinnett County, Valdosta State, City of Augusta), Texas (Fort Bend ISD, Texas A&M, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson ISD), Florida (Marion County, Santa Clara County health facilities, Plant City), Michigan (Novi Community School District, Ann Arbor Public Schools), Connecticut (City of Meriden), and California (Santa Clara County). Evaluation criteria across recent RFPs emphasize contractor qualifications, experience on comparable projects, financial stability, bonding capacity, insurance coverage, and past performance on public works. Many solicitations require HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting plans or documentation of good-faith outreach to certified small and minority-owned businesses. Sealed bid procurement dominates, though RFPs, RFQs, and cooperative task-order vehicles appear frequently. Pre-bid conferences and site visits are standard. Contract terms typically range from one to three years with renewal options, and award values span from under $100,000 for targeted repairs to over $100 million for new construction and campus-wide system replacements.
