NIGP 020: Agricultural Equipment, Implements, and Accessories (see Class 022 for Parts)

NIGP 020 Agricultural Equipment, Implements, and Accessories is a Class code under which state and local governments procure tractors, mowers, planting and seeding equipment, landscape machinery, shrub and tree planting services, herbicide application, and specialized implements such as forestry packages, rotary cutters, and disk harrows—typically for county conservation areas, state wildlife management, school district grounds maintenance, and municipal parks operations. Recent solicitations span county sole-source John Deere tractor attachments, state-level shrub seedling planting across multiple wildlife management areas, specialized rangeland treatment services including mastication and chaining, aerial seeding operations, commercial lawn equipment, and parts-and-repair contracts for agricultural tractors, forklift services, and landscaping power tools. The issuing bodies include state departments (Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Colorado, Massachusetts, Delaware, Iowa), county governments (Hillsborough County Florida, Orange County California, Sacramento County California), cities (Pittsburgh, Austin, Palm Bay), school districts (Rockwood, Manor ISD, Saginaw Public Schools), state recreation areas, and transit authorities. Geographic activity clusters in the Mountain West (Utah, Colorado), California (multiple Orange County and Sacramento procurements), Florida (Hillsborough County multiple awards), and the Northeast (Massachusetts). Hillsborough County appears as a repeat buyer of sole-source John Deere equipment and tractor attachments through authorized dealer EFE, Inc.

Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for three John Deere 4075R tractor attachments (tandem disk harrow, rotary cutter, rotary tiller) for conservation lands from authorized dealer EFE, Inc. with estimated cost $17,175.00 and challenge deadline October 20, 2026; the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's IFB for 35,500 shrub seedlings across three Wildlife Management Area sites with planting October 20–November 20, 2026 and bids due October 12, 2026; Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation's RFI for landscape maintenance equipment demonstrations (mowers, UTVs, string trimmers, chainsaws, blowers) at three state parks October 29, 2026 with vendor responses due October 20, 2026; Orange County California's competitive bid for special event rental equipment (canopies, staging, tables, chairs, sound systems, dance floors) on an on-call basis with bids due October 23, 2026 and 5–8% local-small-business and disabled-veteran-business preferences; and the City of Austin's IFB for Kubota OEM parts and warranty repair services with offers due September 22, 2026 and the City's Living Wage Program ($22.15/hour minimum) and local-business preference discounts applying. The code also captures equipment-repair frameworks like the City of Pittsburgh's parts-and-repair IFB for heavy and landscaping equipment and on-call service contracts such as the City of Owensboro's pre-qualified contractor list across 32 maintenance and repair categories.
