NIGP 91049: Loading Dock and Associated Accessories Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 91049 Loading Dock and Associated Accessories Maintenance and Repair, Item code, encompasses procurement of portable steel loading docks, dock leveler installation and replacement, dock lift systems with capacity ratings and safety features, dock seals and shelters, dock bumpers, roll-up doors, and related inspection, preventive maintenance, repair, and emergency response services across state agencies, counties, cities, higher-education institutions, and special-purpose district entities. State and local governments buy fixed installations and portable equipment to support material handling, emergency access, and facility operations; recent solicitations show demand for both capital equipment (portable docks, dock levelers with specified lift capacity and dimensions) and ongoing service contracts (scheduled inspections, lubrication, corrective repairs, 24/7 emergency response).

Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Mental Health, Illinois Department of Human Services), county governments (Clay County in Florida, DeKalb County in Georgia, Santa Clara County in California), cities (Stonecrest and Union City in Georgia, Orlando in Florida, Atlanta in Georgia), and higher-education institutions (Kennesaw State University in Georgia, University of Wisconsin-Madison). Recent activity includes the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017550 (posted June 29, 2026, bids due July 6, 2026) for a single Dura-Ramp Pro portable steel loading dock with 30,000-pound capacity at Vernon State Hospital; the Illinois Department of Mental Health small purchase (B-51964, posted April 10, 2026, bids due April 24, 2026) for a new loading dock lift with 6,000-pound minimum capacity, dock I-beam, and removal of existing equipment at Petersburg Mental Health Center with a June 30, 2026 completion deadline; Kennesaw State University's RFP for comprehensive roll-up door and loading dock services across both campuses (posted March 19, 2026, proposals due April 13, 2026); and the Illinois Department of Human Services dock leveler services procurement (posted March 16, 2026, proposals due March 30, 2026) encompassing concrete replacement, a 6-foot by 8-foot mechanical dock leveler with 35,000-pound capacity, dock bumpers, and dock shelter installation at Elisabeth Ludeman Center. Geographic concentration includes Texas, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, and California, with activity distributed across metropolitan and rural jurisdictions. Prevailing wage compliance, OSHA and ANSI standards adherence, insurance requirements (typically $1,000,000 general liability minimum), and performance bonding are standard contract conditions; many solicitations require pre-submission or pre-bid conferences, with Illinois facilities mandating Illinois Prevailing Wage Act compliance and minimum Illinois labor force percentages.
