NIGP 96247: Hoisting and Lifting Services

NIGP 96247 Hoisting and Lifting Services, an Item code, encompasses procurement of lifting equipment, installation labor, and related services for material handling and infrastructure work across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying brand-name post lifts with installation services, irrigation system conversions requiring coordination in active public spaces, and third-party administration of workers' compensation claims—a mix reflecting both direct equipment procurement and specialized services falling under the hoisting and lifting umbrella. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Department of Central Management Services), municipalities (City of Austin, City of DeBary), and other local entities. The work typically involves capital-project delivery, equipment specification and procurement, labor-intensive installation, and performance guarantees tied to operational uptime and system reliability.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services posted a small purchase with sole source conditions on March 11, 2026, for two Rotary 12-ton post lifts at CMS Garage 31 in Collinsville, with a March 13, 2026 deadline and a total contract value of $27,215.00 including 50 hours of labor for removal and installation. The City of Austin, Texas issued RFP 5800 SLW3033 on June 23, 2026, due July 23, 2026, for workers' compensation third party administration services managing 532 new incident claims and 1,104 medical-only claims in fiscal year 2025 across a workforce distributed throughout Travis, Williamson, and Hays Counties, with evaluation weighted 25 points for claims administration, 20 for experience and qualifications, 15 for reporting technology and data analytics, and 20 for price, plus up to 10 points each for local and small business preferences. The City of DeBary, Florida procured Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements through competitive bid 03-15 with an engineer's estimate of $90,000 and a 45-calendar-day completion timeline.
