NIGP 91013: Elevator Installation, Maintenance, Repair and Inspection

NIGP 91013 Elevator Installation, Maintenance, Repair And Inspection, an Item code, covers ongoing preventive maintenance, routine and emergency repair, inspections, testing, and component replacement for passenger, freight, hydraulic, and traction elevators across state and local facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts, state departments and agencies, county public works and corrections facilities, municipalities, transit authorities, universities, and housing authorities—with repeat activity from state transportation departments (Caltrans, TxDOT, Maryland SHA), state human services and corrections agencies (Illinois DHS, Florida DCF, California CDCR), county public works and housing authorities, and independent school districts. Representative recent work spans full-cycle maintenance contracts (Northside Independent School District, IFB, sealed bids due August 6, 2026; Menard Correctional Center, Illinois, small-business-set-aside five-year maintenance and emergency repair contract, bids due July 31, 2026; University of Houston, annual inspections and five-year load testing for approximately 200 vertical transportation units, proposals due July 20, 2026), elevator modernization projects (California DMV headquarters, elevator motor and controller replacement plus accessibility upgrades, bids due July 22, 2026; City of Madison, electric elevator modernization at State Street Garage, bids due August 19, 2026), and specialized procurements including third-party inspection services (Newark, New Jersey, RFP for on-call elevator inspections serving approximately 3,000 units, proposals due July 7, 2026).

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in California (state transportation, corrections, and general services agencies), Texas (state departments of public safety and transportation, municipalities), Illinois (state human services and corrections), and the Northeast (New York Port Authority, Newark, Maryland, New Jersey). Prevailing wage requirements apply to most public works and state facility work; small-business and minority-owned enterprise set-asides and preferences appear frequently in California, Illinois, and Texas procurements. Most maintenance contracts run three to five years with firm pricing for the initial term and optional renewals. Contractors must hold elevator licenses (C-11 in California, equivalent state certifications elsewhere), maintain general liability insurance typically at $1 million per occurrence minimum, comply with ANSI A17.1 safety standards, and provide 24/7 emergency response capability with defined callback times (30 minutes to two hours typical). Work is performed at customer facilities statewide or district-wide; place of performance varies by issuing body and facility locations.
