NIGP 99219: Automotive and Road Equipment Testing and Calibration Services

NIGP 99219 Automotive and Road Equipment Testing and Calibration Services, an Item code, covers diagnostic testing, calibration, and repair services for vehicle fleets and road equipment — work state and local governments solicit when their own diagnostic capacity or certification requirements demand specialized facilities. Recent opportunities show school districts and transportation departments buying certified diagnostic repair services for light-duty vehicle fleets (Chevrolet sedans, trucks, SUVs, and vans) and heavy-duty road-testing equipment (skid trailers for pavement analysis). The work typically requires vendor certifications — OEM dealership status or third-party facility accreditation — and spans routine diagnostics, component repair (transmission, fuel, brake, exhaust, electrical systems), and calibration to manufacturer or DOT standards. Issuing bodies include county school districts and state transportation departments; Hillsborough County Public Schools and the Illinois Department of Transportation appear in the recent record.

Recent activity spans Florida and Illinois. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ 26252-ITQ-DST, due July 10, 2026, extended by Addendum 1) for diagnostic and repair services on an 83-vehicle Chevrolet fleet, with pricing on a per-hour basis across ten service categories (transmission, fuel system, drivetrain, exhaust, brake, EGR, body electronics, starting system, DEF, and charging) totaling approximately 500 billable hours annually, FOB Destination, Net 45. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) issued a sole-source small purchase (due July 21, 2026) for skid trailer calibration services; the scope and budget were not detailed in the source. A third opportunity, a Georgia Department of Transportation eRFP posted April 28, 2026, sought V2X outreach materials development and does not fit this code's diagnostic or calibration scope. State and local solicitations under this code enforce prevailing wage, set-aside participation for small business enterprises and minority- or women-owned vendors where applicable, and compliance with foreign-countries-of-concern affidavits.
