NIGP 928: Equipment Maintenance and Repair Services for Automobiles, Trucks, Trailers, Transit Buses and Other Vehicles

NIGP 928 Equipment Maintenance And Repair Services For Automobiles, Trucks, Trailers, Transit Buses And Other Vehicles is a Class code under which state and local governments procure ongoing and emergency repair, maintenance, and parts supply services for their fleet operations—covering diagnostic work, component replacement, collision damage restoration, specialized system rebuilds (transmissions, hydraulics, engines), and preventive maintenance across light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles. Recent solicitations show active demand across transit agencies, county fleet operations, municipalities, water districts, and state departments seeking single or multi-vendor arrangements for automotive and heavy equipment servicing.

Issuing bodies active under the code span city public works departments, county transportation and fleet maintenance divisions, regional transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Orange County Transportation Authority, Broward County Transit Division), state procurement offices, water authorities, and fire departments. Repeat buyers include Broward County (paint and body repair, battery maintenance), Hillsborough County (sole-source awards for OEM-authorized Mack and International truck services; multi-vendor bids for Ford fleet maintenance at $4.3 million over three years), the City of Phoenix (vehicle decommissioning, vactor services), and the City of Tucson (hydraulic rebuild, diesel engine repairs). Geographic concentration includes Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, $20.846 million transportation maintenance and supplies contract through December 2028), Florida (multiple county-level awards and sole-source procurements), California (Santa Clara County generator services; Santa Monica coolant supply), North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System bus body repair), Connecticut (heavy equipment and electrical work), and multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Oregon ODOT regions for auto parts; Texas SMARTBUY for truck parts and services; Axia Cooperative nationwide equipment rental). Representative recent opportunities include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's October 2026 ITB for transportation maintenance and supplies (bids due November 17, 2026) serving Texas public entities on a two-year catalog discount model with 104 prior awardees and $20.846 million estimated spend; Santa Clara County's November 2026 ITB for generator preventative maintenance, inspection, load bank testing, and emergency repairs (prevailing wages required, C-10 Electrical license mandated); Broward County Transit's September 2026 RFP for paint and body repair on a 415-bus fleet; Volusia County's November 2026 solicitation for Allison transmission remanufacture and service (FTA-funded with 5.2% DBE goal); and the City of Phoenix's November 2026 IFB for transit bus decommissioning (180 forty-foot and 82 smaller buses, five-year term with two-year extension option, DBE-N compliance required). Cooperatives and multi-vendor structures dominate; sole-source arrangements typically involve OEM authorization exclusivity (Nextran/Mack, Sun State International/International Motors). Federal funding (FTA, ARPA, EPA) drives compliance layers including prevailing wages, DBE participation, Buy America, and Section 3 employment goals on significant contracts.
