NIGP 98143: Generator Rental or Lease

NIGP 98143 Generator Rental Or Lease, an Item code, encompasses the supply and short-term operational deployment of portable and stationary backup power systems to state and local government facilities during emergencies, routine maintenance windows, and planned capital projects. Recent state and local solicitations show government buyers procuring generators across three primary use cases: emergency power restoration (temporary electrical supply during outages or infrastructure failures), hurricane-season contingency staging (pre-positioned equipment for disaster response), and permanent-system installation support (temporary power during construction or equipment replacement). The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Public Safety, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, California Department of Transportation), county governments (Hillsborough County, Williamson County, Indian River County, Orange County Florida, Jefferson County Texas, Glynn County Georgia), municipalities (City of Tallahassee, City of Waco, City of Lewisville, City of Tifton, Eastern Municipal Water District), and school districts (San Antonio Independent School District). San Antonio ISD appears as a repeat buyer with multiple concurrent open-ended general maintenance contracts that include generator-related services. The code also captures equipment rental services more broadly—recent Hillsborough County and Orange County solicitations for portable pump rentals and temporary HVAC equipment include generators as line-item categories within larger contingency rental frameworks.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Waco, Lewisville, San Antonio, Williamson County, Jefferson County), Florida (Tallahassee, Vero Beach, Hillsborough County, Orange County), Georgia (Tifton, Glynn County), Illinois (Vienna Correctional Center, Murray Developmental Center), and California (Caltrans and CAL FIRE facilities across multiple counties). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00211 (posted April 14, 2026, due May 5, 2026) for emergency generator rental services during the 2026 hurricane season with an estimated project budget of $145,586.00; Williamson County's RFP 26RFP43 (posted May 1, 2026, due May 28, 2026) for generator inspection, preventative maintenance, repair, and rental services across 21 county-owned facility generators ranging from 15 kilowatts to 1,750 kilowatts on a two-year initial contract term with optional renewals; the State of Texas Comptroller's RFP 304T-26-975M4.1 (posted April 28, 2026, due April 28, 2026) for emergency ground support equipment rental contingencies including generators (0-18.9 KW through 1,000–2,499.9 KVA) on a multi-year statewide cooperative vehicle; and CAL FIRE's IFB 7CA07976 (posted July 10, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for generator testing, maintenance, and inspection services at the Training Center in Ione, California, with compliance required to NFPA 110 and EPA standards. Emergency procurements and small-purchase expedited awards (State of Illinois Murray Developmental Center generator rentals with response dates of February 10 and April 22, 2026) signal recurring operational pressures at facility-maintenance level.
