NIGP 93165: Park, Playground, and Swimming Pool Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93165 Park, Playground, and Swimming Pool Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, maintenance, repair, and operational services that state and local governments procure for playgrounds, swimming pools, splash pads, aquatic centers, water parks, athletic courts, and related recreational infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying playground equipment and installation (design, supply, and fabrication of systems for ages 5–12 with ADA-compliant access and safety surfacing); pool maintenance and operations (chemical management, filtration system service, twice- or thrice-weekly visits, and 24/7 emergency repair); aquatic instruction for senior populations; splash pad and pool building construction and renovation; basketball backboard and bleacher servicing; parking lot and site improvements at recreational facilities; and miscellaneous sports equipment installation including batting cages, starting block anchors, and barrier netting systems. Issuing bodies span the full spectrum: state agencies (Illinois, California), county commissions and boards (Collier, Hillsborough, Gwinnett, Appling, Telfair, Cherokee, Fayette, DeKalb, Henry, Clayton in Georgia; Walton in Florida; Clackamas in Oregon; Hays in Texas; Northampton in Virginia), cities and municipalities (Holly Hill, Alexandria, Doral, Scranton, Sandy Springs, Eastman, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Milpitas, Meriden, Olathe, Eugene, College Park), school districts (Fontana USD in California; Northville in Michigan; Marion County, Parkway, Cherokee County in Georgia), and special districts including park authorities and county museum divisions. Repeat buyers emerge: City of Alexandria (pool maintenance), Henry County and Cherokee County (Georgia), and various Florida counties (Hillsborough, Collier) appear multiple times in the recent record.

Procurement activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, and the mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, with scattered activity nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Holly Hill's ITB 25-BG-14 (November 3, 2025, response date; $102,966 fixed budget for new playground design, supply, and installation with stainless-steel corrosion protection in a coastal zone); City of Alexandria's ITB 2031 (November 19, 2026; seven-pool maintenance, repair, and operations across 1.29 million gallons with living-wage compliance and SWaM/DBE subcontractor reporting); Henry County, Georgia's RFP 27-06 (September 2, 2026; twice-weekly aquatic center and water park maintenance across five water features with factory-certified technician requirements); Hillsborough County's RFQ 26-00357 (August 28, 2026; five-year pre-qualified-list establishment for playground equipment installation, replacement, and repair with estimated value of $11 million, $1 million to $5 million coverage limits, and CPSI-on-staff requirement); Fontana Unified School District's Bid 25/26-0042 (May 25, 2026; unit-priced playground equipment and surfacing maintenance and repairs across 45 school sites with mandatory pre-bid and manufacturer certifications); and Clackamas County's BID 2025-91 (July 14, 2026; $2.8 million neighborhood park construction including playground equipment installation and protective surfacing meeting ASTM F1292 standards with six-month substantial-completion deadline). Contract terms range from one year with renewals to five-year initial terms; pricing is split between lump-sum fixed bids, hourly service rates with multipliers for overtime and emergency hours, unit pricing, and percentage-discount master agreements. Set-asides and preferences appear inconsistently—some procurements name SBE, WBE, or MBE goals; others apply local-vendor preferences of 3–5%; many specify no disadvantaged-enterprise requirements. This code sees steady activity across municipal budgets, school capital and operations, and county parks departments with no dormant jurisdictions evident in the record.
