NIGP 93648: Industrial Equipment (Not Construction and Repair, or HVAC) Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93648 Industrial Equipment (Not Construction And Repair, Or Hvac) Maintenance And Repair is an Item code. State and local governments buy routine and emergency maintenance, repair, and parts supply for mechanical systems and equipment that operate outside building climate control — including chiller and cooling-tower rebuilds, pump-station grinder replacements, variable frequency drive installations, equipment rental without operator, UPS and HVAC preventive maintenance contracts, electrical and plumbing component repairs, and water-treatment chemical management across facilities. Recent solicitations show schools, universities, counties, cities, water utilities, fire departments, and correctional facilities issuing RFPs, ITBs, and RFQs for on-call service contracts with multi-year terms, design-build upgrades, and single-project repairs at annual contract values ranging from tens of thousands to several million dollars. Issuing bodies include Angelo State University, Dougherty County, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, Gwinnett County, Henry County, DeKalb County Schools, City of Detroit, City of Tempe, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Pinellas County Schools, and Valencia College, among others. Prevailing wage, E-Verify, insurance, bonding, and compliance certifications are standard requirements; many solicitations include mandatory set-asides or encouragement for SBE, MBE, WBE, DBE, and local-vendor participation.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, and the Pacific Northwest, with scattered activity across the upper Midwest and Northeast. Representative current solicitations include Dougherty County's RFP for HVAC chiller rebuild and cooling tower installation at the jail (proposals due November 13, 2026), Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue's RFQ for on-call HVAC services across 34 fire stations (due November 2, 2026), Henry County Georgia's RFP for annual HVAC maintenance and repair services (due September 16, 2026), and Gwinnett County's ITB for pump-station grinder replacements (due November 20, 2026). City of Detroit issued multiple HVAC design-build and on-call RFPs in September and October 2026 with 65-point evaluation frameworks emphasizing experience, capacity, and pricing. DeKalb County Schools sought water-treatment vendors for 98 facilities across the district (due October 22, 2026). Activity remains steady, with most opportunities requiring three to five years of demonstrated experience, certified or licensed technicians, 24/7 emergency response capability within two to four hours, and one to three-year initial contract terms with renewal options.
