NIGP 92891: Upholstery Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 92891 Upholstery Maintenance and Repair is an Item code under which state and local governments procure repair and replacement services for vehicle and furniture upholstery, including automotive fleet maintenance, transit bus reupholstery, school bus seat work, and airport terminal seating restoration. The work encompasses labor, materials, and supplies for both routine maintenance and one-time restoration projects, with contractors typically performing services at their own facilities or, in some cases, on-site. Issuing bodies include county transportation and fleet departments, city procurement offices managing automotive and transit fleets, county aviation authorities, school districts operating bus fleets, and city purchasing divisions coordinating services across diverse vehicle inventories. Counties and cities dominate recent activity, with Fairfax County posting multiple school bus upholstery solicitations and several Florida jurisdictions (Palm Beach County, Broward County, Hillsborough County) actively procuring fleet-related upholstery services alongside Arizona and California municipalities.
