NIGP 06568: Powerlift Tailgate

NIGP 06568 Powerlift Tailgate is an Item code representing a discrete product line within vehicle equipment and accessories that state and local governments procure for fleet outfitting and maintenance operations. Based on recent solicitation activity, this code captures tailgate lift systems and related equipment installed on pickup trucks and light-duty vehicles used by transportation departments, municipal fleets, school districts, and county operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county purchasing departments, state transportation agencies, and school district fleet operations that maintain or acquire light trucks requiring specialized cargo-handling equipment.

Recent activity is sparse. The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued Bid #26-0124 in January 2026 seeking a supply agreement for automotive and light truck repair parts (response date February 12, 2026), though this opportunity covers general OEM parts and components rather than powerlift tailgates specifically. A Texas state IFB for 2025 Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado equipment outfitting (Solicitation 0007016, response date April 10, 2026) suggests fleet vehicle equipping activity in Texas, though full procurement scope details are not available in the current source materials. No dedicated powerlift tailgate solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block, indicating that this particular item code sees limited standalone procurement volume in the state and local market or is bundled within broader fleet vehicle outfitting contracts rather than solicited as a line item.
