NIGP 94152: Heating Equipment Maintenance and Repair, Steam

NIGP 94152 Heating Equipment Maintenance And Repair, Steam Item code addresses the full spectrum of heating system maintenance, repair, and replacement work that state and local governments solicit for institutional and utility facilities. State and local buyers under this code procure HVAC system overhauls and replacements (including air handling units, VAV terminal units, chilled water pumps, and DDC controls), preventive maintenance on heating and refrigeration equipment, emergency repair services on an as-needed basis, parts procurement, and specialized services such as megger testing, thermostat calibration, leak detection, and system balancing. Issuing bodies span county water resources departments, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and specialized utility or facilities management departments. Work typically flows through competitive sealed bids (ITB) or requests for proposals (RFP) structured as single-award or multiple-award indefinite-quantity contracts with initial terms of three to five years and renewal options.
