About NIGP 938
NIGP 938 Equipment Maintenance and Repair Services for Hospital, Laboratory, and Testing Equipment is a Class code covering preventive maintenance, emergency repair, and parts supply for specialized laboratory, medical, and water-treatment instrumentation across healthcare systems, utilities, and county laboratories. State and local governments procure under this code to keep critical diagnostic, analytical, and operational equipment functioning—ranging from air compressors supporting sterile processing to ventilators, water-quality analyzers, and pressure-temperature instrumentation in treatment facilities. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater utilities, county health departments, fire departments, healthcare systems, and regional water authorities. Recent solicitations show a mix of multi-year term contracts structured as blanket purchase agreements, requirements contracts, or sole-source procurements tied to authorized distributor status for proprietary equipment brands like Vyaire, Hamilton Medical, IDEXX, and Millipore. Service delivery models span on-call frameworks with hourly rates and emergency-response guarantees to preventive-maintenance-plus-repair hybrids with defined annual service intervals and parts allowances. Contractors typically must hold manufacturer certifications, ISO 13485 or equivalent quality-system registration where applicable, and meet insurance thresholds of $1 million to $2 million in general and professional liability coverage.
Recent activity clusters in Arizona, Florida, and Connecticut, with Phoenix Water Services, Tucson Water, Hillsborough County (Florida), and multiple municipal utilities issuing multiple awards across instrument categories. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for maintenance and repair of 40 Vyaire Medical LTV 1200 ventilators over three years (estimated value $140,225, bids due June 12, 2026), the County of San Mateo's RFP for air compressor preventive maintenance and emergency repair at San Mateo Medical Center's Sterile Processing Department (three-year term, RFP issued July 22, 2026, proposals due August 19, 2026), Escambia County's sole-source solicitation for genuine Hamilton Medical consumables (response due September 29, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools and County Government's RFP for preventive maintenance and repair services for laboratory equipment across all departments (proposals due August 31, 2026). Many contracts carry federal funding (ARPA, HUD, EPA grants) and therefore Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage, Buy America, and Section 3 workforce-development compliance obligations.
