NIGP 95145: Service Charges

NIGP 95145 Service Charges, an Item code, encompasses technical services, calibration, testing, and specialized labor that state and local agencies procure to maintain equipment compliance, ensure regulatory adherence, or perform specialized analyses. State and local governments under this code buy equipment replacement parts bundled with repair labor, technician training, calibration services, and laboratory testing services delivered on a fee-for-service or per-unit basis. Issuing bodies span state agencies across multiple departments — environmental and waste management divisions, racing commissions, and emergency-response branches — rather than concentrating in a single vertical. The work typically involves either asset support (maintaining monitoring or test equipment through parts, repairs, and technician certification) or specialized analytical services (laboratory testing with professional credentials and accreditation requirements).

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Kentucky and Oregon, with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet soliciting Draeger and Honeywell replacement parts, calibration gases, repair services, and technician training for portable air monitoring equipment used by its Division of Waste Management (RFB75827000000212, due August 4, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services procuring equine laboratory provider services for the Oregon Racing Commission to conduct drug testing on racehorses (SDASOBO00016824, RFQ, due May 13, 2026). The Kentucky opportunity represents a one-year contract with four optional renewals, emphasizing rapid response and geographic proximity; the Oregon opportunity spans three years plus with a maximum value of $249,000 and demands HIWU accreditation plus advanced credentials in analytical toxicology. Both solicitations carry professional liability and commercial general liability insurance requirements and award on best-value or best-fit criteria rather than low-price-technically-acceptable.
