NIGP 92971: Snow Melter Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 92971 Snow Melter Maintenance and Repair is an Item code covering preventative maintenance, repair, inspection, and operator training services for winter weather equipment deployed by airports, municipalities, and transportation authorities. State and local governments use this code to procure both parts and labor for seasonal equipment that removes snow and ice from runways, taxiways, parking areas, and roadways. The work encompasses equipment winterization, fault diagnosis, component replacement, and training programs to ensure operational readiness during winter weather events. Issuing bodies include city departments of aviation and public works, county transportation divisions, and state transportation agencies; the recent opportunities show both large metropolitan airports and county-level facilities relying on this code.

The City of Atlanta Department of Aviation posted an IFB on July 20, 2026 (response due August 10, 2026) for purchase, inspection, preventative maintenance, repair, and training services for airfield winter weather equipment at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, representing a major hub's seasonal operations cycle. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB on June 9, 2026 (due July 13, 2026) for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center that included IT and low-voltage infrastructure work—indicating some scope creep or miscoding in the recent data set. The Illinois Secretary of State executed a change order with incumbent contractor R.D. Lawrence Construction in July 2026 for ADA ramp repair at the Howlett facility, though this contract modification falls outside the core winter equipment maintenance focus. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, with secondary representation from Illinois, suggesting concentrated procurement in the Southeast and Midwest during the pre-winter procurement cycle.
