NIGP 93116: Bakery Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93116 Bakery Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses preventive maintenance and corrective repair services for food service and institutional kitchen equipment — specifically bakery ovens, rethermalization meal delivery systems, commercial food preparation appliances, and related mechanical and electrical components. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts, community colleges, state departments operating institutional facilities, county transportation authorities, and veteran care systems. Work currently being procured ranges from specialized equipment repairs (engine overhauls and transmission rebuilds for transit bus fleets repurposed as heavy equipment maintenance contracts) to routine preventive maintenance contracts covering multiple campuses and facilities, with vendors typically responsible for all labor, parts, materials, tools, and compliance documentation.

Recent opportunities reflect activity across California, Illinois, Florida, and Texas. The California Department of Veterans Affairs solicited rethermalization meal delivery system maintenance at Veterans Home of California-Yountville (IFB, February 17, 2026 and March 25, 2026 response dates, with a fixed $50,000 parts allocation and mandatory 5 percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise participation). The Illinois Department of Human Services posted a rebid for removal and disconnection of a 1940s-era baker's oven from the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired in Jacksonville, Illinois (April 21, 2026 response date), requiring licensed, insured vendors with compliance documentation and $1 million general liability insurance. Collin County Community College District is procuring preventive maintenance for commercial food equipment across five campuses (RFP FY2026-RFP-042, three-year term beginning April 1, 2026, with pre-proposal meetings November 11–12, 2025, and proposal due November 21, 2025). Broward County Transportation Department solicited mid-life rolling stock repower overhaul services for approximately 198 buses (February 23, 2026 response date), an FTA-funded contract requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, manufacturer certifications, and three-year initial term with two one-year renewals. Activity under this code remains episodic and institution-specific rather than routine regional purchasing.
