NIGP 94163: Monitoring Services, Power Generation

NIGP 94163 Monitoring Services, Power Generation is an Item code under which state and local governments procure preventive maintenance, load bank testing, remote monitoring, and emergency repair services for standby and backup generators serving municipal facilities. The work spans routine preventive maintenance (oil and filter replacement, spark plug inspection, coolant checks), annual or as-needed load bank testing to verify generator load capacity, software-based or cloud-platform remote monitoring with notification and trend-analysis capabilities, and 24/7 emergency repair response. Cities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with recent solicitations coming from municipal procurement offices rather than state departments, school districts, or transit authorities.

The City of Sandy Springs issued RFQ 27-001 (due July 17, 2026) for citywide preventive maintenance, load bank testing, remote monitoring, and corrective repair services across multiple municipal locations. Dallas has a 10.10% Developing Regional & Inclusive Vendor Enterprises participation goal and maintains a pre-qualified Small Business Enterprise vendor list exceeding 400 firms. Recent activity concentrates in Texas municipal procurement, with no contract values disclosed in either solicitation.
