NIGP 91076: Welding Maintenance and Repair Services (incl. Brazing, Casting, and Soldering)

NIGP 91076 Welding Maintenance and Repair Services (Including Brazing, Casting, and Soldering), an Item code, covers on-site and shop welding, fabrication, repair, and related metalworking services that state and local governments procure to maintain infrastructure, equipment, and facilities. Recent solicitations show a mix of discrete projects—tank restoration, bridge railings, stair renovation—and ongoing service contracts for mobile welding response, regional equipment repair, and facility maintenance across diverse asset bases including water systems, transportation fleets, solid waste equipment, and campus infrastructure.

State departments (particularly Utah Department of Transportation and state wildlife and youth correctional agencies), county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida, DeKalb County in Georgia, Santa Clara County in California), city utilities (Austin Water, Tampa Water Department), municipalities (Statesboro, Columbus, Greenville), school districts (Northside ISD, Mt. San Antonio Community College District), and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System) are the primary issuing bodies. Utah UDOT and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources appear multiple times in the recent-opportunity record. Geographic activity spans Utah (multiple UDOT procurements for regional welding and fabrication, sand blasting and painting; Division of Wildlife Resources fence welding), Texas (Huntsville water tank restoration, Austin receptacle refurbishment and plasma cutting for water treatment, Tampa water and wastewater services), Florida (Hillsborough County mobile welding at solid waste facilities), Georgia (DeKalb County tennis center, Augusta city services, Columbus city on-call services, Statesboro city hall stair renovation), California (Mt. San Antonio Community College welding lab extraction arms, Santa Clara County parks and recreation JOC), North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System Blue Line track), South Carolina (Greenville County bridge railings), Massachusetts (West Greenwich DPW welding and pipefitting), and Oregon (Youth Authority grounds equipment).
