NIGP 91256: Maintenance and Repair, Power Plant

NIGP 91256 Maintenance and Repair, Power Plant is an Item code covering specialized repair, replacement, and service work on power generation equipment, electrical systems, and mechanical infrastructure at utility and municipal facilities. State and local governments procure under this code for tasks ranging from breaker overhaul and transformer repair to HVAC system replacement, water treatment plant equipment installation, fuel system upgrades, and scheduled maintenance on waste-to-energy facilities. The issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lubbock Power & Light), county water authorities (Santa Clara County, Palm Bay), county solid waste departments (Tampa), school districts (Citrus County), and state military installations (Nevada). Recent work spans equipment diagnostics and component replacement on large industrial units, field service delivery with on-site technicians, and design-build construction of new production infrastructure.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara County multiple solicitations for guardrail, pavement, bridge, and parks maintenance contracts), Florida (Kissimmee, Tampa, Palm Bay, Citrus County school projects), and scattered activity in Georgia, Oregon, Nevada, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Palm Bay's RFP for design and construction of four production wells at the North Regional Water Treatment Plant (due April 28, 2026, RFP 30-RFP-26); the Kissimmee Utility Authority's sole-source procurement for GE 230KV breaker repair at Cane Island (ITB SS26032JG, due April 8, 2026); the City of Tampa's sheltered-market RFP for daily mechanical services at the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility (due February 18, 2026, estimated contract value $850,000); and Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for repair of a damaged 50 MVA substation transformer (RFP #7123-26-ELD, due March 11, 2026). Work is typically procured via IFB, ITB, or RFP with mandatory pre-bid conferences and sealed submissions. Set-asides appear selectively—the Tampa WTE facility procurement is designated a Sheltered Market for Small Local Business Enterprises with 5 percent bid discount eligibility—while most other opportunities are open to all qualified vendors meeting licensing, insurance, and technical certification requirements.
