NIGP 92958: Material Handling Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 92958 Material Handling Equipment Maintenance and Repair, Item code, covers preventive and corrective maintenance, repair, and calibration services for a broad spectrum of material handling and industrial equipment including forklifts (electric, propane, diesel), pallet jacks, aerial lifts (boom, scissor, telescoping), skid steers, shredders, balers, frame straightening machines, cranes, and specialized industrial systems. State and local governments solicit these services as standalone contracts and nested within larger fleet or facility maintenance agreements; the work is capital-preservation driven and spans jurisdictional lines from individual counties and cities to state departments, transit authorities, and correctional facilities.

County purchasing offices and state departments are the primary issuing bodies. Orange County, California appears multiple times in recent solicitations for equipment rental and lift maintenance. Sangamon County, Illinois has posted repeated opportunities for shredder and baler repair. The geographic spread reflects activity across California, Illinois, Florida, Washington, Kentucky, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, and Massachusetts, with no single state dominating. Representative opportunities include Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's IFB for equipment rental without operator (response date August 14, 2026) covering on-as-needed delivery of forklifts, aerial platforms, generators, and related consumables across county locations with 24-hour delivery and emergency three-hour response; Sangamon County's repair and maintenance RFP for an Allegheny rotary shredder and Maren baler (response deadline July 6, 2026) requiring flat-rate pricing and technician certifications; Hillsborough County's ITB for Northwest Transfer Station crane repair (response date March 30, 2026) for two stationary Builtrite pedestal boom cranes under a three-year term with $272,000 estimated value; and Washington State Department of Ecology's IFB for electrical maintenance services (response date July 20, 2026) covering preventive and corrective work at headquarters with small business and veteran-business set-asides and a $150,000 estimated contract value. Illinois state procurements through Sangamon County and the Department of Corrections for equipment-specific maintenance appear frequently, often with prevailing wage compliance and multi-certification compliance requirements. The mix reflects both commodity-style as-needed rental agreements and specialized technical repair contracts tied to specific equipment models and serial numbers.
