NIGP 92917: Automotive Shop Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 92917 Automotive Shop Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses ongoing diagnostic services, repair labor, and preventive maintenance for vehicle fleets and automotive service equipment at state and local facilities. State and local governments buy vendor-provided diagnostics and repairs across specific vehicle makes and models—Chevrolet, Dodge, Isuzu, and Hino vehicles in recent school-district solicitations; Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep repairs for municipal fleet services; and specialized equipment including automotive parts washers and vehicle lift systems. Work typically runs on firm, hourly labor rates organized by service category (transmission diagnosis, fuel system work, brake systems, EGR and DEF diagnostics, electrical systems, and body electronics), with vendors supplying materials, parts, and all incidentals. Issuing bodies span school districts, cities, counties, state technical colleges, and specialized fleet departments—Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida has posted four separate ITQ solicitations since mid-September 2026 for manufacturer-specific vehicle diagnostic services, indicating repeated and segmented procurement activity for different vehicle makes across a single large district fleet.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Kentucky, with additional solicitations in Texas, Georgia, and Michigan. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITQs due July 7, 2026 (Dodge vehicles, ITQ 26249-ITQ-DST), July 10, 2026 (Chevrolet vehicles, ITQ 26252-ITQ-DST), and July 29, 2026 (Isuzu and Hino vehicles, ITQ 26307-ITQ-DST), each requiring vendor certification or dealership affiliation and minimum three years' experience, with annual service hours ranging from 50 to 100 per category and Net 45 payment terms.
