NIGP 06525 Covers, Camper Shells, Load Covers, Etc. (For Trucks), an Item code, covers custom tarps, tarp replacement parts and repair services, and camper shells for municipal and state vehicles including dump trucks, refuse trucks, fire apparatus, and pickup trucks. State and local governments procure these items to equip and maintain fleet vehicles for operational use. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Austin), state agencies (Illinois State Police), and county purchasing departments (Williamson County). Opportunities span both custom fabrication and repair services on fixed-price contracts with multi-year terms, as well as product procurement with installation requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The City of Austin issued IFB 7800MLJ1045 (due September 24, 2026) for custom tarps, replacement parts, and repair services for municipal vehicles including dump trucks, refuse and waste trucks, and fire apparatus, with hourly labor rates, per-occurrence pickup-and-delivery fees, and 16 specified inventory line items under a 36-month contract with optional 12-month renewals; the solicitation requires three consecutive years of municipal service experience, an authorized warranty repair facility within 60 miles of the Texas State Capitol, and two qualified service technicians on staff. The State of Illinois solicited bids for 15 fiberglass camper shells for Ford F-150 Crew Cabs in three OEM factory colors for the Illinois State Police Special Operations Command (due May 29, 2026), specifying LEER, A.R.E., or SnugTop manufacturers with installation required by June 30, 2026 within 150 miles of Springfield. Both procurements impose insurance and warranty requirements, with Austin's contract subject to local business preference (one to five percent) and small business preferences, and Illinois requiring prevailing wage compliance where applicable.
