NIGP 05511: Bug Screens and Protective Shields, Vehicle

NIGP 05511 Bug Screens and Protective Shields, Vehicle is an Item code covering aftermarket vehicle protective and equipment accessories installed on state and local fleet vehicles. Based on recent solicitations, the code encompasses furnishing, installation, modification, and repair of specialty equipment and upfitting components for light-duty, medium-duty, heavy-duty, and specialty fleet vehicles, including bug screens, protective shields, emergency lighting, dash cameras, backup cameras, toolboxes, ladder racks, bed liners, vehicle wraps, utility bodies, service bodies, flatbeds, and lift gates. State and local purchasing offices—primarily city and county fleet management operations—solicit upfitting services on a competitive basis for as-needed, multiple-vendor arrangements, typically with three-year initial terms and optional renewals.

The City of Fort Myers, Florida posted ITB 26063 for Multiple Vendor Aftermarket Upfitting Services for Fleet Equipment and Vehicles with a response date of August 20, 2026, seeking competitive bids from qualified contractors willing to provide furnishing, installation, modification, and repair services on a task-order basis for city-owned fleet vehicles. The contract requires one-year minimum workmanship warranties, compliance with manufacturer specifications and federal safety regulations including OSHA and DOT, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence. Compensation is based on submitted bid schedules or schedules of values with monthly invoicing for completed work. Recent activity reflects city-level procurement in Florida, though the code likely sees broader geographic adoption across municipal fleet operations nationwide given the universal nature of vehicle upfitting and protective-equipment needs.
