NIGP 06086: Steering Components and Parts

NIGP 06086 Steering Components And Parts, an Item code, covers replacement steering system parts and assemblies that state and local governments procure to maintain and repair vehicle fleets. The concrete work being solicited under this code spans Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for light and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and automotive fleets; emergency repair services including alignment and suspension work; inventory management and just-in-time parts delivery systems; and integrated parts-supply agreements tied to fleet maintenance operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city departments of public works and fleet services, county purchasing offices managing centralized fleet inventories, school districts maintaining bus fleets, and regional transit and cooperative purchasing entities. Recent opportunities show activity from municipalities (City of Atlanta, City of Brockton, Brevard County), school districts (Parkway School District in Missouri, Sarasota County Schools), and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell.

Geographic spread of recent activity centers on the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Texas) and extends into the Midwest (Missouri) and Northeast (Massachusetts), with multistate reach through cooperative purchasing solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works IFB for heavy-duty trailers with repair services and parts supply (due May 1, 2026), requiring OEM equivalent replacement parts, diagnostic and mechanical repair services, and operator training; Brevard County's bid for just-in-time inventory management services covering automotive parts and equipment with daily delivery and on-site parts-room staffing (bid opening February 25, 2026); Parkway School District's RFB for OEM bus fleet parts and repair services under a blanket purchase order (due May 19, 2026); and the School Board of Sarasota County's one-year supply agreement for automotive and light truck repair parts with firm percentage discounts off manufacturer list prices (due February 12, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) with multistate and multigovernmental participation. Response windows range from fifteen to sixty days, with awards determined on lowest-bid or best-value bases and contracts typically running one to five years with renewal options.
