NIGP 06021: Brakes, Repairs, and Replacements (Not Electric Controller)

NIGP 06021 Brakes, Repairs, and Replacements (Not Electric Controller), an Item code, covers the supply and installation of motor vehicle brake components for state and local fleets—including pads, shoes, rotors, drums, master cylinders, hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders, and hardware kits across passenger vehicles, light trucks, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses, and trailers. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code include school districts and county governments, with school districts appearing as active buyers seeking original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and certified or remanufactured components under multi-year supply arrangements. Brake repair and replacement work is distributed across issuing bodies managing large or specialized fleets; scope typically includes parts supply with options for installation and maintenance. Contracts frequently run one to three years with price escalation tied to the Consumer Price Index and often include unilateral renewal or extension provisions by the purchasing entity.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Florida and California, with additional cooperative procurement initiatives spanning multiple states. Pinellas County School District issued ITB 26-AM-016 (due August 24, 2026) for approximately $190,000 in annual motor vehicle brake parts, requiring OEM-certified components and limiting suppliers to those within a 40-mile radius of the Walter Pownall Service Center; the district grants a 5 percent preference to Florida businesses when competing against out-of-state suppliers from states without reciprocal preference. The California Department of General Services, Procurement Division, posted IFB 0000039351 (due June 12, 2026) for OEM auto parts across Ford, General Motors, and FCA/Mopar manufacturers, with mandatory use by the California Highway Patrol, Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, and Department of State Hospitals; historical spend across current contracts totaled approximately $14.0 million over four years. Sourcewell, on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026), establishing a cooperative purchasing framework available to thousands of governmental agencies. Broward County posted an RFI (due July 1, 2026) challenging a proposed sole-source designation for Bubenzer brake systems and storm rail clamps at Port Everglades, signaling openness to competitive alternatives.
