NIGP 91774: M&R, Non-University Owned Vehicles

NIGP 91774 M&R, Non-University Owned Vehicles, an Item code, encompasses maintenance and repair services for transit authority vehicles and equipment, grounded in recent solicitations for preventative maintenance contracts and technical support. State and local governments soliciting under this code include transit authorities, municipalities, and educational institutions operating vehicle fleets and heavy equipment. The Detroit Department of Transportation, through the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, recently issued an RFQ for comprehensive preventative maintenance and repair services for a body frame straightening machine used in bus rehabilitation, including monthly hydraulic system inspections, frame alignment checks, electrical and control system testing, and emergency repair services on a time-and-materials basis. Vendors responding to transit and municipal maintenance solicitations under this code must typically hold specialized certifications such as I-CAR training, demonstrate five or more years of direct experience with similar equipment, and commit to OEM parts usage with rapid replacement delivery windows.

Recent activity under the code appears limited to discrete municipal and transit authority procurements. The City of Detroit DDOT solicitation (RFQ 539661, due June 17, 2026) is a two-year maintenance contract covering a 40-foot heavy-duty frame rack serving approximately 300 buses and includes Detroit-based business equalization credits ranging from 1 to 5 percent depending on certification type, with awards not to exceed 12 percent above the lowest responsible bid or $100,000. A separate educational procurement from Valencia College (QR 202606, due August 7, 2025) sought subject matter expertise for semiconductor cleanroom and engineering curriculum development rather than vehicle maintenance, suggesting the code captures broader equipment and specialized facility maintenance work beyond traditional fleet M&R. Michigan appears to be the primary geography for current activity, with Detroit representing the most recent and concrete opportunity in vehicle maintenance contracting.
