NIGP 02061: Loaders, Tractor Mounted, Farm

NIGP 02061 Loaders, Tractor Mounted, Farm is an Item code representing equipment that state and local governments purchase for operational and maintenance activities. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses skid steer loaders and front-end loaders—compact tracked or wheeled equipment with hydraulic attachments for material handling, site preparation, and specialized tasks such as snow removal. The City of Valdosta, Georgia, and the City of Perry, Georgia, have issued multiple invitations for bid on new front loaders and skid steer track loaders within the past two months, indicating active procurement by municipalities for fleet replacement and operational support. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District similarly solicited a skid steer loader with specifications tailored to snow removal and emergency response operations, including enclosed cabs, high-flow hydraulics, and specialized tire and attachment requirements.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and California. The City of Valdosta issued IFB 8-27 (due June 23, 2026) and RFQ 10-27 (due July 14, 2026), both for one new 2026 Front Loader with 92 HP and 4X4 configuration.
