NIGP 05516: Consoles, Police Vehicle (Includes Controls for P.a., Sirens, Warning Devices)

NIGP 05516 Consoles, Police Vehicle (Includes Controls For P.A., Sirens, Warning Devices), an Item code, covers police vehicle upfitting and equipment installation services that state and local law enforcement agencies are procuring at moderate volume across multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations reveal a market spanning complete vehicle buildouts (emergency lighting, siren controls, partitions, gun racks, consoles, mobile data terminals, communication equipment, and ballistic protection) as well as narrower component procurement (aftermarket lighting kits, body armor, uniforms, and digital evidence management systems paired with in-car cameras). Issuing bodies include county sheriff's departments, municipal police departments, city public works agencies, state procurement offices, school district law enforcement, and transit authorities. Chatham County Police Department in Georgia, Polk County Government in Georgia, the City of Fort Myers in Florida, the City of Jackson in Mississippi, Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department in Ohio, and the Town of Berlin in Connecticut have all posted recent opportunities. Scope varies from single-vehicle purchases (Chatham County Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle) to larger fleets (Chatham County's twenty Ford Interceptor Utility vehicles, Cuyahoga County's five Dodge Durangos, City of Jackson's eight Dodge Durangos). Work is either IFB (invitation for bid), RFP (request for proposal), or ITB (invitation to bid) structure, with response deadlines typically two to four weeks.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent high-volume activity in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Ohio, followed by solicitations in Connecticut, California, Oregon, Washington, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is managing a multi-state cooperative purchasing agreement for law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment serving Washington and Oregon with a pre-bid conference on June 16, 2026 and bids due July 24, 2026, covering push bars, consoles, partitions, gun racks, K-9 enclosures, and related equipment across Ford Utility Interceptor, Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit, and Ford F-150 vehicles (2025/2026 model years); historical annual sales volume approximated $1.05 million. The City of Palo Alto issued RFQ 197204 for upfitting two Rivian R1S patrol vehicles with comprehensive emergency and law enforcement equipment by April 2, 2026. The City of Tucson Police Department and Tucson Fire Department established an annual requirements contract (estimated $300,000 annually for Tucson Police Department) with renewal options for police uniforms, ballistic shields, and body armor across three groups. The Texas Office of the Attorney General posted a peace officer vehicle up-fit solicitation (Bonfire Reference 302-26-230762) with April 30, 2026 deadline. The City of Fort Myers issued ITB 26-063 on August 20, 2026 for multiple-vendor aftermarket upfitting services on an as-needed basis with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. Brand-name specifications and single-source awards (such as Chrome Glow Inc. for Saddlebag Rail Police light bar kits in Port Orange, Florida) indicate a market with established OEM relationships and specialized component preferences.
