NIGP 06006: Axles, Trailers and Trucks, Tandem and Single

NIGP 06006 Axles, Trailers and Trucks, Tandem and Single is an Item code encompassing the purchase of specialized trucks and trailers for state and local operations, ranging from refrigerated food-distribution vehicles and dump trailers to tanker trucks for aviation fuel and utility trailers for water authority maintenance. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts, counties, municipalities, water authorities, and special-purpose districts; recent activity shows school districts (Griffin-Spalding County, Cobb County), county governments (DeKalb County, Marion County, Galveston County, Collier County, Floyd County, Macon Water Authority), and municipal transit operators (Broward County Transportation) as repeat or substantial buyers. The scope of work reflects end-use diversity: Griffin-Spalding County is procuring a single refrigerated box truck for food distribution across 21 school cafeteria sites (IFB #27-102, due July 23, 2026); Cobb County School District is acquiring a 28-foot dry box truck for warehouse operations (IFB B26133, due July 6, 2026); DeKalb County Fleet Department seeks 12 walking floor open refuse transfer trailers (ITB #2026-084, due July 20, 2026); and Macon Water Authority is bidding 15 commercial Ford trucks configured for meter repair, water distribution, and maintenance functions (IFB 26-002-MWA, due March 10, 2026).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, where multiple counties and water authorities have posted opportunities in the first half of 2026, followed by Florida (Marion County, Collier County) and scattered activity in Texas (Galveston County), California (Sacramento County), Nevada (Department of Health and Human Services), and Arizona (City of Tucson). Procurement vehicles are predominantly IFB and ITB notice types with response windows of two to four weeks. Representative recent opportunities include Marion County Solid Waste (Equipment Trailer with Front Side Dump Box, ITB 26B-078, due May 21, 2026), Broward County Transportation (BCT Bus Fleet Repower Overhaul Services, open-end contract, due February 23, 2026), and City of Dallas (Trailer-Mounted Power Washer, informal solicitation, due February 18, 2026). Evaluation typically emphasizes lowest responsive and responsible bidder on price; specifications often permit equivalent products meeting or exceeding named equipment models. Warranty and service expectations are substantial—refrigerated units and heavy trucks commonly require three-to-five-year coverage, operator training, and local service response time commitments. No federal set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise mandates dominate the code, though individual jurisdictions enforce state compliance (Georgia E-Verify, Florida Statute 287.087 drug-free workplace, DVBE participation in California) and FTA Buy America requirements appear in transit-authority procurements.
