NIGP 91771: M&R, Engine Service

NIGP 91771 M&R, Engine Service is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit repair, rebuild, exchange, and maintenance services for transit bus engines, school bus powerplants, and related heavy-duty vehicle propulsion systems. Recent solicitations show demand for on-site preventive and corrective maintenance on active transit fleets, specialized Cummins engine and chassis system repairs at authorized service facilities, and supplemental parts and labor for school district bus inventories spanning multiple manufacturer platforms and model years. Transit authorities, county transportation departments, and school districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with emphasis on vendors who hold manufacturer certifications, current motor vehicle repair licenses, and demonstrated experience in medium and heavy-duty engine overhaul.

The City of Albuquerque Transit Department (ABQ Ride) posted a competitive bid (RFB2026625TRAEW, due August 25, 2026) for on-site transit bus technicians to perform fleet maintenance at its Albuquerque facility.
