NIGP 06078: Retreading Equipment

NIGP 06078 Retreading Equipment is an Item code describing tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty tire services that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis to maintain vehicle and equipment fleets. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies under this code purchase on-road and off-road tires, handle tire installation at facilities or job sites, remove worn or damaged casings, credit acceptable casings for retreading, and contract for specialized services such as foam filling. The Orlando Utilities Commission's RFP for tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty tire services (Solicitation PR9446, due September 16, 2026) illustrates the scope: OUC sought three-year contracts with two optional one-year renewals, requiring vendors to maintain an established office within 50 miles of service locations, hold a minimum of 10 years of industry experience, and deliver services across four facility locations with firm pricing throughout the contract term. Issuing bodies under this code include utility commissions and other municipal or special-purpose districts with vehicle and equipment maintenance requirements.

Activity in this code is sparse in the recent opportunities block. Beyond the Orlando Utilities Commission solicitation, no other recent state or local procurement activity appears under NIGP 06078. A notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department and a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment do not constitute retreading opportunities. The Orlando opportunity represents the primary visible market signal for this code among state and local buyers, anchored in the central Florida jurisdiction and indicating demand among utilities with distributed facility networks and significant mobile equipment fleets.
