NIGP 06510: Bodies, Utility

NIGP 06510 Bodies, Utility is an Item code that encompasses the procurement of purpose-built utility service bodies and enclosures for mounting on truck chassis, including steel service bodies, dump bodies, and custom-configured compartmented units with integrated equipment and accessories. State and local governments under this code purchase fully fabricated bodies for installation on city, county, and state fleet vehicles, with the contractor typically responsible for all fabrication, installation, mechanical and electrical integration, compliance with federal and state DOT requirements, and delivery of fully operational units. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments, municipal fleet services divisions, and state procurement offices. Sacramento County, the City of Tucson, the State of Maine, and the Town of Berlin have all solicited under this code within the past six months.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Maine, Connecticut, and California.
