NIGP 05511: Bug Screens and Protective Shields, Vehicle

NIGP 05511 Bug Screens and Protective Shields, Vehicle is an Item code that encompasses vehicle protective components and related inventory and logistics management services. State and local governments solicit under this code for automotive parts, equipment, and supplies used to maintain fleet vehicles, trucks, generators, and related equipment across multiple departments. Issuers include county purchasing departments managing centralized fleet operations, school district transportation services, and facility management divisions. The scope of work ranges from direct parts supply with manufacturer discounts to comprehensive just-in-time inventory management bundling parts procurement, daily delivery, on-site personnel, system integration, and warranty management.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Florida, with Brevard County Purchasing Services soliciting a five-year just-in-time automotive parts and inventory management contract (Solicitation B52621, IFB, bid opening February 25, 2026) valued at approximately $730,000 annually to serve a fleet of 1,114 assets across county departments, and the School Board of Sarasota County seeking a one-year automotive and light truck repair parts supply agreement (Bid #26-0124, response due February 12, 2026) with renewal options covering OEM and aftermarket parts from 19 manufacturers with firm percentage discounts off MSRP. Both solicitations mandate compliance with E-Verify, Build America Buy America Act requirements, and foreign country-of-concern disclosures. The Brevard opportunity explicitly requires General Liability, Auto Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability insurance. No set-aside restrictions appear in the available documents, though the Sarasota solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned, small, and women-owned businesses and applies Florida preference adjustments for out-of-state bidders.
