NIGP 93838: First Aid and Safety Equipment (Except Nuclear and Welding) Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93838 First Aid And Safety Equipment (Except Nuclear And Welding) Maintenance And Repair, an Item code, covers maintenance, repair, testing, and rental services for workplace safety equipment excluding nuclear and welding applications. State and local governments procure electrical protective equipment testing and certification, floor mat and mop head rental services for facilities, safety equipment storage systems for emergency vehicles, and seasonal security services at public facilities. Issuing bodies span community college districts, county social services departments, municipal airports and public works agencies, and county emergency services, reflecting the distributed nature of safety equipment stewardship across administrative and operational jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Florida. Mt. San Antonio Community College District solicited purchase and installation of forty-seven flexible vent extraction arms for a welding lab (IFB, July 16, 2026 response deadline); the City of Philadelphia issued two separate RFQs for floor mats and mop heads rental service at its airports with estimated contract value of $100,000 annually (IFB B2727483, July 22, 2026 response deadline; IFB B2727191, June 29, 2026 response deadline); the City of Phoenix Public Works Department sought sealed bids for off-site testing and certification of electrical shop rubber glove personal protective equipment under a five-year no-value contract with per-unit firm-fixed pricing (IFB 26-0352, July 1, 2026 response deadline); and Marion County, Florida conducted a re-solicitation for slide-out trays for emergency and rescue vehicles to verify qualified alternatives to the current sole-source provider M&M Extendo LLC (posting window April 29–May 6, 2026). Philadelphia applied 10% local business entity preference on floor mat contracts; Phoenix required contractors to be local stocking distributors; and Marion County explicitly reviewed sole-source continuations under Florida statute renewal requirements.
