NIGP 92970: Snow Plow and Blower Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 92970 Snow Plow and Blower Maintenance and Repair is an Item code that covers maintenance, repair, and upfitting services for snow removal equipment, including both routine equipment servicing and the fabrication and installation of snow-removal attachments and hydraulic systems on vehicles. State and local governments procure under this code for emergency repairs to snow-removal fleets, preventative maintenance contracts, upfitting of new trucks with snowplow and salt-spreader equipment, and extended warranty and parts-supply agreements tied to multi-year winter operations. Issuing bodies span state departments (New Jersey Treasury Division of Purchase and Property, Illinois Central Management Services), county governments (DeKalb County, Seminole County, Broward County Transportation), and municipalities (City of Little Rock, City of Atlanta). Cities and counties appear to be the most active repeat buyers, with Little Rock conducting multiple snow-equipment procurements in the recent cycle and Atlanta preparing a large multi-year acquisition for airport winter weather equipment.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic: New Jersey, Georgia, Arkansas, Illinois, and Florida all posted solicitations between March and June 2026. Representative procurements include New Jersey's June 2026 RFQ for OEM and non-OEM maintenance and repair services for light and medium duty vehicles (including snow plow attachments and truck bodies) with a response deadline of September 15, 2026, open to all state using agencies and cooperative purchasing participants under a small business set-aside; the City of Little Rock's June 2026 ITB to upfit two International chassis trucks with dump bodies and snow hydraulics for $1,000,000 aggregate insurance coverage and eight-week completion; and the City of Atlanta's April 2026 pre-advertisement notice for replacement of airport winter weather equipment (Multi-Tasking Equipment units capable of clearing 4 inches of snow from a 150-foot-wide runway in 10 minutes) with an initial order of 3 units, annual multi-year procurement planned for 3 additional vehicles annually over 6 years, 10-year extended warranty required, and prequalification deadline of May 21, 2026. Broward County Transportation also solicited bus fleet repower overhaul services in January 2026 for 198 heavy-duty buses (FTA-funded, closing February 23, 2026), which falls outside the primary code scope but signals heavy equipment maintenance demand in transit authorities.
