NIGP 92810: Alignment and Wheel Balancing (Including Front-End Repair)

NIGP 92810 Alignment and Wheel Balancing (Including Front-End Repair), an Item code, covers preventive and corrective automotive fleet maintenance and repair services that state and local governments solicit across diverse vehicle types—from light-duty municipal sedans and pickup trucks to heavy transit buses, fire apparatus, and off-road construction equipment. Recent solicitations show transit authorities and municipal fleets buying comprehensive maintenance packages that bundle wheel alignment, tire balancing, and suspension work alongside engine overhaul, transmission rebuild, chassis system repair, and body collision services; wheel balancing and alignment typically appear as line items within larger fleet-maintenance contracts rather than as standalone services. Issuing bodies range across city transportation departments, county fleet management divisions, and specialized transit authorities. Broward County Transportation Department, Collier County, the City of Albuquerque, and the City of St. Cloud, Florida have posted multiple or recent opportunities in this space, signaling repeat procurement activity among larger municipal and county systems.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Florida (Broward, Collier, Volusia, and Duval counties) and the Southwest, with recent solicitations from Texas (Austin Community College) and New Mexico (Albuquerque Transit). Representative opportunities include Broward County Transportation Department's open-end contract for Cummins engine and chassis system repair for the BCT Bus Fleet (RFP TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026), requiring authorized service facilities and vendor response within 24 hours; Collier County's ITB for tires and tire services (ITB 25-8357, due March 17, 2026), seeking authorized dealers of major tire manufacturers with services including mounting, balancing, and patching across a 1,610-vehicle fleet; and the City of Albuquerque Transit Department's RFB for on-site transit bus technicians (RFB2026625TRAEW, due August 25, 2026). Most contracts are structured as indefinite-quantity agreements or vendor pools with three-year initial terms and renewal options, many carry FTA funding requiring Buy America and prevailing wage compliance, and few specify budget ceilings—pricing is often evaluation-weighted rather than capped, with historical spend data (where disclosed) ranging from $23,000 to $400,000 annually depending on fleet size and scope.
