NIGP 92864: Reconditioning/Refurbishing Vehicles

NIGP 92864 Reconditioning/Refurbishing Vehicles, an Item code, covers the repair, refurbishment, and specialized retrofit of state and local government fleets. State and local governments under this code procure collision repair, upholstery restoration, engine and chassis system rebuilds, vehicle decommissioning and repainting, and specialized equipment retrofits—work performed on transit buses, municipal service vehicles, fire trucks, police sedans, and heavy equipment. Issuing bodies include city transit departments, county transportation authorities, municipal public works and fleet services divisions, and city fire rescue operations. The work is event-driven and volume-intensive; contracts typically span multiple years with per-incident or hourly labor pricing. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both routine fleet maintenance and specialized one-off retrofits: the City of Phoenix is decommissioning approximately 260 transit buses and cutaways over five years (IFB PTD26-009, due November 6, 2026); Hillsborough County is seeking Ford-brand maintenance and repair services for 1,400+ vehicles across five service locations in the Tampa area under a three-year, $4.3 million ITB (ITB-26-00420, due October 16, 2026); and the City of Albuquerque posted solicitations for collision repair services (RFB-2025-776, due September 3, 2026) and upholstery repair across its 3,800-vehicle fleet (RFB-2025-776-VAR-DV, due May 27, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico. The City of Phoenix, Hillsborough County, Broward County Transportation Department, and the City of Albuquerque are active repeat buyers; Broward County's transit bus repair solicitation (TRN2132053B1, due June 1, 2026) requires Cummins engine and chassis system repair services with four optional one-year renewals and Federal Transit Administration compliance. Specialized retrofit work is emerging alongside routine maintenance: the City of Pembroke Pines and Broward County both sought Airport Rescue Fire Fighting truck retrofits (fire suppression skid and remote turret nozzles) in August and September 2026. Vendors entering this code require Florida and local motor vehicle repair licenses, manufacturer certifications (Ford, Cummins), commercial shop facilities with specialized equipment (paint booths, dyno testing capability), minimum two to ten years' prior experience in the same scope, liability insurance in the $1 million to $5 million range, and responsiveness measured in hours—24-hour acknowledgment and two-business-day quotes are standard terms.
