NIGP 93643: Hardware, Shelf Hardware, and Allied Items Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93643 Hardware, Shelf Hardware, and Allied Items Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, covers maintenance and repair services for installed hardware systems in state and local facilities, though recent solicitation activity under this code emphasizes electrical installation and maintenance services more than discrete hardware repair. State and local governments are soliciting ongoing maintenance contracts for building systems and equipment, typically on an on-call or annual basis across multiple facilities. The issuing bodies include municipal governments operating across multiple buildings and infrastructure assets. Columbus Consolidated Government solicited on-call electrical installation and maintenance services in August 2026, seeking a primary and secondary contractor to handle emergency response to power outages and fire hazards, troubleshooting and repair of lighting systems, receptacles and switches, conduit and wiring, breaker and panel diagnostics, circuit modifications, and new panel installations on a 24/7 basis across all city buildings and structures. The contract structure favors firms capable of scaling to handle both emergency and routine work with rapid response capability.

Recent activity spans at least the District of Columbia and Georgia, though the source provides limited geographic depth. The District of Columbia posted RFQ DOC848635 on September 24, 2026, requesting quotes for field team equipment and machinery with an extremely compressed response window (due September 25, 2026), though no additional scope details are available. Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 27-0009, posted August 11, 2026 with a September 30 deadline, represents the most detailed recent opportunity: the city intends to establish annual on-call electrical contracts with two contractors (primary and secondary) on an initial two-year term with three optional one-year renewals, fixed pricing for the initial term with capped five-percent escalation thereafter, and evaluation weighted heavily toward qualifications and experience (45%) and service plan (35%), with cost accounting for only 5 percent of the scoring. Respondents must carry $1 million in general liability, automobile liability, errors and omissions, and umbrella coverage, with the city named as additional insured, and submit through the OpenBids portal.
