NIGP 06525: Covers, Camper Shells, Load Covers, etc. (for Trucks)

NIGP 06525 Covers, Camper Shells, Load Covers, Etc. (For Trucks) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fiberglass and composite truck bed covers and camper shells for fleet vehicles. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited fifteen fiberglass camper shells for Ford F-150 Crew Cab pickup trucks for the Illinois State Police Special Operations Command, with acceptable manufacturers including LEER, A.R.E., and SnugTop. The shells required fiberglass reinforced composite construction with UV-resistant finishes, reinforced roofs rated for 200-pound static loads, full rear hatch doors with tempered safety glass and keyed locking handles, lockable side access windows, interior LED lighting, and clamp-on mounting systems compatible with factory bed rails without permanent vehicle modifications. Installation was the vendor's responsibility, with completion required by June 30, 2026, within a 150-mile radius of Springfield, Illinois. The bid due date was May 29, 2026. State agencies and school districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code; the Illinois State Police and Sarasota County Schools were among recent soliciting entities.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in Illinois and Florida. The Illinois solicitation (RFQ 26493ISPADMINB52565, posted May 19, 2026) specified three factory colors across the fifteen units and required $1,000,000 per occurrence commercial general liability insurance, $1,000,000 per occurrence automobile liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance, with a minimum three-year warranty on fiberglass structure and one-year warranty on hardware. The Sarasota County Schools Board solicitation (IFB 260124, posted January 23, 2026, due February 12, 2026) was for an automotive and light truck repair parts supply agreement rather than camper shells specifically, though it demonstrates school district fleet maintenance procurement activity. No incumbent vendors or budget values were identified in the source. A Williamson County, Texas purchasing department notice posted July 14, 2026, announced an office relocation and does not constitute a procurement opportunity.
