NIGP 06096: Wheels and Rims (Including Wheel Covers and Hubcaps)

NIGP 06096 Wheels and Rims (Including Wheel Covers and Hubcaps), an Item code, represents Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) automotive wheel and related components that state and local governments procure for vehicle maintenance and fleet operations. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing OEM parts — including wheels, rims, wheel covers, and hubcaps — for replacement, repair, and maintenance of government vehicle fleets. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of general services, state highway patrol agencies, departments of corrections and rehabilitation, departments of state hospitals, county purchasing offices, and municipal fleet operations that support law enforcement and transportation functions. These entities typically establish multi-year statewide or cooperative contracts to supply their fleets with standardized, manufacturer-approved components at negotiated pricing.

The California Department of General Services, Procurement Division solicited OEM auto parts (IFB 0000039351, due June 12, 2026) covering Ford, General Motors, and FCA/Mopar original equipment, with historical spending of approximately $14.0 million over four years across the three manufacturer groups and mandatory use by the California Highway Patrol, Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, and Department of State Hospitals. The contract structure required two-year terms with three optional one-year extensions, seven-business-day delivery timelines F.O.B. destination, and included DVBE incentive, 5 percent Small Business preference, and TACPA options for eligible bidders. Sourcewell, acting as a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, also issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) that encompasses participation from Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with numerous jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada, establishing a cooperative purchasing vehicle for thousands of governmental agencies and public entities. Recent activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest, with the code seeing use by state transportation, corrections, and public safety agencies as well as local law enforcement procurement through cooperative frameworks.
