NIGP 95841: Fleet Management Services

NIGP 95841 Fleet Management Services, an Item code, encompasses the operational oversight, maintenance scheduling, and asset lifecycle management of public-sector vehicle fleets through software platforms, professional assessments, and hands-on maintenance work. State and local governments procure under this code to manage everything from preventive maintenance scheduling and work order execution to fleet utilization analysis, operator safety programs, and telematics integration—work typically performed by specialized service contractors, software vendors, and consulting firms working across transit authorities, county departments, city public works offices, and state agencies.
