NIGP 06534: Fire Protection and Crash Rescue Bodies

NIGP Item 06534 Fire Protection and Crash Rescue Bodies encompasses specialized fire apparatus, rescue vehicles, detention-facility fire-protection hardware, and fire system maintenance and inspection services that state and local governments acquire for emergency response and facility protection. The code captures procurement ranging from full-body scanner systems for detention facilities to custom-built fire rescue trucks meeting NFPA standards, along with ongoing inspection, testing, maintenance, and repair of fire protection systems at public properties. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collin County, Texas; Maricopa County Community College District in Arizona; Pasco County, Florida; Washington County, Georgia; Seminole County, Florida), transit authorities (Port Authority Trans-Hudson in New Jersey–New York), and municipal governments (Town of Centreville, Mississippi). Counties and special districts dominate recent activity, with Collin County appearing as a repeat buyer across both apparatus replacement and detention-facility fire-safety upgrades.
