NIGP 05517: Console Accessories, Emergency Response Vehicles

NIGP 05517 Console Accessories, Emergency Response Vehicles, an Item code, covers aftermarket upfitting components and accessories that state and local governments install on law enforcement, fire, and emergency management fleet vehicles to enhance operational capability. The work being solicited under this code includes push bars, vehicle partitions, console boxes, computer mounts, prisoner containment systems, radio mounts, lock boxes for firearms and tactical equipment, light bars, gun racks, modular storage drawers, prisoner transport seats, K-9 enclosures, and related electrical and mechanical installation services. Issuing bodies span city governments, county purchasing offices, and state procurement departments. City and county governments solicit both single-vehicle police upfitting contracts and multi-vendor frameworks for ongoing fleet modification services, while state departments establish cooperative purchasing agreements serving multiple jurisdictions. Recent activity shows cities managing fleet upfitting through multiple-vendor ITBs allowing as-needed task awards, and states using cooperative structures to reduce procurement cycle time for subscribing agencies across regions.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Washington, Oregon, and Georgia, with the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services running a significant statewide cooperative solicitation for law enforcement vehicle upfit equipment and K-9 enclosures (bids due July 24, 2026) that serves both Washington and Oregon purchasers and explicitly covers NIGP 05517 alongside adjacent codes. The City of Fort Myers, Florida issued a three-year multiple-vendor ITB for aftermarket upfitting services (ITB 26063, due August 20, 2026) encompassing emergency lighting, dash cameras, radio equipment, and specialty fleet modifications. The City of Meriden, Connecticut solicited police vehicle purchases with upfitting services including radio and camera mounting (ITB B027-13, due July 29, 2026), and Collin County, Texas requested sealed bids for emergency vehicle equipment and supplies including light bars, gun racks, and modular storage (IFB 2026-284, due June 4, 2026, estimated annual value $100,000). The State of Oregon posted an RFP for vehicle upfit services (RFP 267043, due June 19, 2026) with emphasis on contractor experience and financial stability. Procurement cycle times are compressed—same-day postings with urgent due dates are common—and insurance, licensing, and prevailing-wage compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction.
