NIGP 91036: Heating, Air Conditioning, and Ventilation Maintenance and Repair Services (Including Installation)

NIGP 91036 Heating, Air Conditioning, and Ventilation Maintenance and Repair Services (Including Installation) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure turn-key HVAC system replacements, emergency chiller rentals, routine maintenance and repairs on distributed equipment, and specialized services such as boiler refurbishment and control system upgrades. State issuing bodies—departments of transportation, corrections, and administrative services—account for significant activity alongside county and municipal facilities management, school districts, and special-purpose districts managing utility and recreational infrastructure. Solicitations reflect a mix of capital replacement projects (full system installations with three- to ten-year warranties), ongoing maintenance contracts priced hourly or on preventive-maintenance schedules, and emergency procurements for time-sensitive cooling or heating failures. Prevailing wage requirements, bonding and insurance thresholds, EPA compliance (refrigerant recovery, lead and asbestos abatement), and credential mandates (state HVAC contractor licenses, EPA Section 608 certification, Journeyman status) are routine across the code, with frequent 24/7 emergency-response and four-hour on-site arrival obligations. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer—small-business restrictions in Illinois Department of Transportation procurements, service-disabled veteran preferences in Michigan and California, local-vendor requirements in Georgia and Oregon, and MBE/WBE participation goals in Connecticut and California.
