NIGP 06567: Platform Bodies (Including Elevating Type)

NIGP 06567 Platform Bodies (Including Elevating Type), an Item code, encompasses utility service bodies and specialized platform equipment that state and local governments install on truck chassis for field operations, fleet maintenance, and correctional facility training applications. Recent solicitations show the code covers heavy-duty truck utility bodies in service and dump configurations, along with restraint-training platforms for law enforcement and corrections use. Issuing bodies include municipal fleet services departments (such as the City of Tucson) and state corrections agencies (Michigan Department of Corrections). Procurement follows standard RFP structures with evaluation on method of approach, qualifications and experience, and price; vendors must hold manufacturer authorization or distributor status, maintain factory-authorized parts and service capability within geographic proximity to the buyer, and comply with federal DOT, civil rights, and environmental disclosure requirements.

The code sees activity across the Southwest and Midwest. The City of Tucson (Arizona) posted RFP 230164 in August 2026 for an annual requirements contract covering heavy-duty utility service bodies with an estimated annual replacement spend of $250,000.00 to $300,000.00 and a one-year initial term with four optional one-year extensions; proposals were due August 15, 2023, with evaluation weighted 45 percent method, 30 percent qualifications and experience, and 25 percent price.
