NIGP 92819: Body and Frame Work (Including Undercoating)

NIGP 92819 Body and Frame Work (Including Undercoating), Item, comprises automotive collision and body repair services that state and local governments procure to restore fleet vehicles damaged through accidents, weather events, vandalism, and general wear. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions establishing standing vendor lists or term agreements for as-needed body shop services—including frame straightening, welding, paint refinishing, mechanical repairs to accident-damaged components, and related restoration work—rather than one-time project buys. The mix of issuing bodies reflects municipal fleets, county transportation departments, school districts, state agencies, and transit authorities across the country; Lubbock, Texas and Palm Beach County, Florida each appear multiple times, indicating repeat engagement with the code as fleet sizes and maintenance demand sustain procurement cycles. Work spans light-duty passenger vehicles through heavy-duty transit buses, dump trucks, and specialized apparatus, with vendors typically required to maintain full-service collision facilities, qualified technicians (ASE or I-CAR certified where specified), OEM parts compliance, and 12-month warranties on repairs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest, with scattered mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest solicitations. Representative opportunities include the City of Lubbock, Texas issuing multiple ITBs and RFPs for secondary auto body and collision repairs (April–March 2026), the City of Arlington, Texas soliciting an annual requirements contract for auto body and collision services (RFP due July 9, 2026), Palm Beach County, Florida requesting pre-qualification of auto body repair vendors (due December 1, 2030), and the City of Eugene, Oregon issuing an RFP for automotive body repair and related services supporting an 800-unit fleet (proposals due April 22, 2026). Broward County Transportation Department solicited Cummins engine and chassis system repair services for the BCT Bus Fleet (FTA-funded, due June 1, 2026), and Pasco County, Florida issued an IFB for heavy-duty truck and bus collision repair (due April 21, 2026). Pricing models typically feature hourly labor rates across service categories (body repair, paint, frame straightening, mechanical), parts markups capped at 10–15 percent of list price, and firm pricing guaranteed for 60–180 days post-award with subsequent adjustments tied to CPI or PPI indices.
