NIGP 05530: Fifth Wheels

NIGP 05530 Fifth Wheels, an Item code, does not appear in recent state and local solicitations at the commodity or service level. The three records in the source track activity under related fleet and automotive maintenance codes — inventory management for county fleet operations and automotive parts supply for school district and county vehicles — but none explicitly solicits fifth wheels or trailers as a standalone procurement category. Brevard County (Florida) issued an RFQ for just-in-time inventory management services to supply automotive parts and equipment for a fleet of 1,114 assets with a response date of February 25, 2026, and the School Board of Sarasota County (Florida) issued an IFB for automotive and light truck repair parts with a response date of February 12, 2026, both focused on parts supply and logistics rather than fifth-wheel equipment procurement. The Williamson County (Texas) notice on file is administrative relocation only and carries no procurement scope.

Without posted solicitations naming fifth wheels as a line item, recent market activity under this code is not visible in state and local procurement channels. Monitor upcoming fleet expansion and equipment-acquisition cycles at county transportation departments and municipal public works agencies to identify when fifth-wheel trailers or towing equipment emerge as discrete procurement needs; current activity appears concentrated in parts inventory and maintenance services rather than capital equipment acquisition.
