NIGP 96717: Assembly Line Services

NIGP 96717 Assembly Line Services, an Item code, encompasses equipment maintenance, repair, and related field services that state and local governments procure to keep production, treatment, and operational systems running — including pump station design and engineering support, water treatment equipment replacement, industrial lubricant supply, and specialized machinery maintenance. Recent solicitations across the code reflect a mix of issuing bodies: municipal utilities (Town of Hilton Head Island, City of Lubbock water systems), state agencies (California Department of Veterans Affairs), independent special districts (Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida), school districts (Salt Lake City School District), and cities (Philadelphia). The work ranges from task-order design services for stormwater infrastructure to sealed-bid procurements for replacement flow controllers, butterfly valves, and lubricating oils meeting API and SAE standards, to maintenance contracts for specialized equipment like RapidPrint time-and-date stamp machines requiring factory-trained technicians.

Recent opportunities span the South Carolina low country, Texas, Florida, California, Utah, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent solicitations include the Town of Hilton Head Island's August 12, 2026 response deadline for on-call pump station design services (sealed RFQ for South Carolina-licensed engineering support); the City of Lubbock's May 27, 2026 ITB for a replacement 16-inch venturi-type flow controller and AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant with firm pricing requirements and non-mandatory May 20 site visit; the Tohopekaliga Water Authority's March 26, 2026 IFB closing for lubricating oils, greases, and maintenance fluids across 23 line items with five-business-day standard delivery and two-business-day emergency delivery within a three-county Florida service area; and the California Department of Veterans Affairs' February 10, 2026 IFB for RapidPrint maintenance and repair services (24 hours annually over three years, mandatory 3% DVBE sub-contracting goal, lowest-responsible-bidder award to factory-trained technicians). The Salt Lake City School District's March 6, 2026 IFB for a single dry box for warehouse chassis and the City of Philadelphia's April 24, 2026 micro-purchase for OVA storage round out the activity, showing equipment fabrication and supply work alongside service contracts.
