NIGP 06095: Wheel Bearings and Seals

NIGP 06095 Wheel Bearings and Seals, Item code, addresses the supply of automotive drivetrain and suspension components that state and local governments procure primarily to maintain and repair vehicle and transit fleets. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code encompasses wheel bearings, seals, brake components, and related heavy-duty bus and truck parts sourced through supply agreements, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and direct procurement. Issuing bodies span transit authorities, county fleet departments, municipal governments, school districts, and state-level cooperative purchasing offices. The City of Gainesville (Florida), Brevard County (Florida), the School Board of Sarasota County (Florida), the City of Atlanta (Georgia), and the State of Illinois through Sourcewell represent the range of jurisdictions actively procuring under this code. Supply arrangements typically require firm discounts off manufacturer list prices, guaranteed delivery windows (often 24 to 48 hours for stock items and up to fourteen days for special orders), parts inventory management systems integration, and compliance with original equipment manufacturer specifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with broader multi-state cooperative purchasing extending through Sourcewell and other regional purchasing alliances. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Gainesville's Invitation to Bid for Heavy-Duty Bus and Truck Brakes and Miscellaneous Parts (solicitation RTSX270003DS, due May 12, 2026) across eight distinct lots with anticipated annual usage ranging from one to 230 units per item; Brevard County's bid for Just-in-Time inventory management and automotive parts supply (solicitation B52621, due February 25, 2026) supporting a fleet of 1,114 assets with an estimated annual budget of $730,000; and the State of Illinois' joint purchase master contract through Sourcewell for aftermarket vehicle parts and supplies (awarded to NAPA Auto Parts on April 9, 2026, with a $7,500,000 total value across three years). The School Board of Sarasota County issued Bid #26-0124 (due February 12, 2026) for automotive and light truck repair parts with percentage discounts off MSRP across nineteen specified manufacturers. Participation in cooperative purchasing frameworks such as Sourcewell expands market reach to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities nationally.
