NIGP 96717: Assembly Line Services

NIGP 96717 Assembly Line Services, an Item code, encompasses sand blasting, painting, welding, and fabrication work on transportation and utility equipment in state and local procurement. State and local governments use this code to solicit repair, rebuild, and coating services for dump bodies, snowplows, material spreaders, pump station components, and water treatment equipment. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has driven recent activity under this code, posting multiple solicitations for regional welding and fabrication services and region-specific sand blasting, painting, welding, and fabrication work. Issuing bodies to date include state transportation departments and municipal utilities; UDOT appears as a repeat buyer across four posted solicitations since early August 2026.

Recent opportunities show UDOT Region 4 sand blasting, painting, welding, and fabrication work under IFB UDOT270035MP (bids due August 14, 2026, reissued as UDOT270035MP2 with bids due September 19, 2026), limited by geography to bidders within 30 miles of zip code 84501 in Utah; and UDOT Regional Welding and Fabrication Services under RFP UDOT270026MP (proposals due August 21, 2026, reissued as UDOT270026MP1 with proposals due September 3, 2026) covering five geographic regions statewide with multiple awards anticipated.

Activity is currently concentrated in Utah and Texas; UDOT contracts require a minimum of five years' prior experience, workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, and E-Verify compliance.
