NIGP 06050: Fuses, Automotive

NIGP 06050 Fuses, Automotive is an Item code representing replacement and maintenance fuses for municipal and county vehicle fleets. State and local governments procure automotive fuses as consumable replacement parts within broader vehicle maintenance and repair contracts, typically bundled with other automotive service and supply needs rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county transportation and fleet maintenance departments, municipal public works operations, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

Recent solicitation activity shows county-level buyers dominating procurement volume. Jackson County, Missouri issued RFP 26040 for County Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services (due July 7, 2026), a 24-month term contract with one 12-month extension option covering maintenance and repair of county vehicles across multiple departments and judicial entities — a scope in which fuses would appear as a routine line item. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 on behalf of participating Washington counties and public entities nationwide (due June 16, 2026) for Law Enforcement Equipment, signaling that vehicle maintenance supplies, including fuses, flow through multi-jurisdictional cooperative frames. Geographic activity centers in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with documented recent opportunities in Missouri, Washington, and Minnesota. The code sees limited standalone visibility in state and local notices; fuses typically compete within larger vehicle-fleet maintenance contracts rather than appearing as dedicated procurement line items.
