NIGP 99839: Escalators, Elevators, and Moving Walks, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99839 Escalators, Elevators, and Moving Walks, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items is an Item code covering the disposition of used, confiscated, or surplus vertical-transportation equipment and related systems through trade, credit, or outright sale. State and local governments procure under this code to modernize or replace escalators and elevators at public facilities, perform ongoing maintenance and repair on vertical-conveyance systems across multiple buildings, and dispose of confiscated equipment through licensed dealers. The issuing bodies span transit authorities (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey), city parking divisions and facilities management offices (City of Madison, City of Tucson), convention and conference centers (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and municipal police departments (Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department). Recent activity shows a steady mix of capital modernization projects, multi-year preventive-maintenance contracts, and occasional asset-disposition transactions.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southwest and Northeast, with recent opportunities posted from Arizona (City of Tucson, two solicitations), New York (Port Authority Bus Terminal), Georgia (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), Wisconsin (City of Madison), and Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government).
