NIGP 99852: Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilating & Refrigeration Equipment, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99852 Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilating & Refrigeration Equipment, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit repair, maintenance, and replacement services for HVAC and refrigeration systems, alongside occasional asset-disposition transactions involving surplus equipment. The recent opportunities show governments purchasing emergency and routine chiller maintenance at multiple locations, energy recovery ventilator repairs at detention facilities, air handling unit replacements at training centers, and walk-in cooler remediation at workforce facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Monroe County, Florida; Hillsborough County, Florida; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), city procurement departments (Augusta, Georgia; Columbus, Georgia), state agencies (Texas Workforce Commission), and special-purpose facilities operated by county or state authorities. Scope ranges from one-time capital equipment swaps to ongoing countywide maintenance contracts with preventative and emergency service components. Several opportunities waive local small business preferences due to insufficient certified providers, indicating vendor specialization in HVAC and refrigeration trades.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 633 for countywide chiller maintenance and service at multiple locations countywide, with proposals due June 17, 2026, evaluated on a 100-point scoring system with hourly rates for mechanic and senior specialist services; City of Augusta, Georgia's ITB 26-177 for energy recovery ventilator repair at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center, with sealed bids due October 9, 2026, addressing component replacement and motor verification on two Trane ERV units; and Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600135 for kitchen cooler remediation at the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center in Austin, requiring removal of a single-compressor system and replacement with a two-stage system plus structural and roof modifications, with proposals due June 23, 2026. A Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department trade-or-credit transaction (RFB 27-0010) involving 306 used and confiscated firearms exchanged for new rifles, with bids due October 14, 2026, appears to be catalogued under this code despite its firearms focus rather than its HVAC relevance.
