NIGP 99043: Fire Fighting Services, Oil and Gas Wells (see 952-44 for Other Fire Fighting Services)

NIGP 99043 Fire Fighting Services, Oil And Gas Wells is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fire alarm inspection and certification services for institutional facilities. The Bibb County School District's recent RFP demonstrates the actual scope: comprehensive annual testing and certification of fire alarm systems across multiple buildings, performed by NICET-certified technicians in compliance with NFPA 72 standards and applicable codes. Deliverables span detailed inspection reports stratified by deficiency severity, written repair quotations, standard pricing schedules for common repairs, 24-hour emergency service with defined response times (2–4 hours for critical failures, 24 hours for routine issues), and required commercial general liability insurance of at least $250,000 per occurrence plus statutory workers' compensation. The work encompasses inspection of alarm-initiating devices, notification appliances, circuit integrity, control panels, backup power systems, HVAC interfaces, water flow and tamper switches, and annunciators. School districts appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code based on available recent opportunities.
