NIGP 05575: Reel Assembly, Cable, Vehicle Mounted

NIGP 05575 Reel Assembly, Cable, Vehicle Mounted is an Item code covering specialized cable and reel equipment for vehicle-mounted operations. State and local governments procure under this code for fleet maintenance, utility operations, and emergency-response equipment requiring motorized winch and cable-management systems. Recent solicitation activity shows municipalities and county utilities buying reel assemblies as integrated components of larger vehicle-mounted pulling and hauling systems, typically paired with trailer-based platforms and electronic or hydraulic control systems for industrial and infrastructure applications.

The code draws activity from county governments and municipal utilities. Lubbock Power & Light, a municipal electric utility in Texas, posted ITB 7122-26-ELD on February 13, 2026 (due March 5, 2026) for one electric four-drum puller unit with 69,000 inch-pounds continuous torque, 3,000-pound line pull capacity, and rope capacity of 10,000 feet of 5/8-inch diameter rope per reel, mounted on a tandem axle trailer with electronic controls and independent hydraulic brakes per reel. The specification reflects demand for high-capacity reel assemblies in utility-infrastructure work. Brevard County, Florida posted B52621 on April 6, 2026 (due February 25, 2026) for just-in-time fleet inventory management including automotive parts and supplies for 1,114 county assets across multiple departments, though this opportunity emphasizes parts-supply logistics rather than reel-assembly procurement. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume under the NIGP taxonomy; most recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Interested vendors should monitor municipal utility and county fleet RFQs and ITBs in regions with significant infrastructure-maintenance and utility-operations demand.
