NIGP 96750: Manufacturing Services (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 96750 Manufacturing Services (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code covering custom fabrication, repair, and specialized production work that state and local governments procure outside traditional product and service classifications. Recent solicitations show demand for golf course equipment and signage, submersible pump repair and maintenance, commemorative outdoor benches, escalator design and replacement coordination, vegetation management products, and law enforcement equipment — work spanning both goods manufacturing and hands-on service delivery. Issuing bodies include Texas cities (Fort Worth, Arlington), Utah special-purpose districts (Summit County, Utah Transit Authority), Washington state departments (Department of Enterprise Services), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple counties and jurisdictions across the United States and Canada). The code attracts a mix of municipal departments (Parks and Recreation, Water, Property Management), county housing authorities, and transit agencies seeking non-standard procurement solutions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Utah, with Washington state driving a large statewide vegetation management contract vehicle. The City of Fort Worth posted an RFQt for golf course supplies (flagsticks, cups, signage, rakes, clubhouse equipment) due October 20, 2026 with SBE certification preference and delivery required to three courses within seven days; an RFP for submersible pump service and repair due November 5, 2026 covering emergency and routine maintenance on an as-needed basis with mandatory small business utilization evaluation; and a joint elevator and escalator maintenance RFP due July 30, 2026 for non-exclusive agreements across multiple city departments. Summit County, Utah solicited proposals for eight exterior commemorative benches (two 8-foot, six 5-foot) with a project budget not to exceed $52,000 and completion by June 30, 2027, and also sought pre-approved accessory dwelling unit construction documents due August 22, 2026. The Utah Transit Authority issued an RFQu for multidisciplinary design services to replace escalators at North Temple TRAX and Frontrunner Station with schematic design due by January 2027 and construction completion by December 2027. Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is establishing a statewide contract vehicle for vegetation management products (herbicides, adjuvants, surfactants, ornamental products) with categories for WSDOT-tested and utility vegetation control items; proposals were due August 20, 2026, and historical annual spending ranged from $914,419 to $3.87 million across state agencies (45%), counties (45%), and special districts (10%). Sourcewell, acting as a State of Minnesota local government unit, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of participating jurisdictions nationwide, with submissions due June 16, 2026.
