NIGP 06583: Tanker Truck Bodies

NIGP 06583 Tanker Truck Bodies, an Item code, covers the procurement of specialized truck bodies designed to transport and dispense fuel, lubricants, and other liquid commodities — equipment state and local governments buy primarily through fixed-price competitive bidding for fire departments, emergency services, and fleet maintenance operations. The scope encompasses both new tanker truck purchases with specific chassis and powertrain configurations and surplus sales of retired tanker and emergency-response vehicles. Issuing bodies include county governments, municipal fire departments, and special districts; Broward County and Chatham County, Georgia appear as active recent buyers in the commercial market, while Monroe County, Florida manages asset disposition through surplus equipment sales.

Recent activity spans Florida and Georgia, with representative solicitations including Chatham County's IFB for one new 2027 International MV607 fuel lube truck with 4X2 regular cab (bids due October 1, 2026), Broward County's fixed-price procurement for one new structural fire engine meeting NFPA and FAA standards with a 750-calendar-day delivery timeline and $1.3 million to $1.4 million price range (bids due September 14, 2026, amended by Addendum No. 2), and Monroe County's ITB for surplus equipment including five fire engines and tankers with an estimated combined value of approximately $52,060 (bids due October 22, 2026). Procurements typically require bid bonds at five percent of price, performance bonds at 100 percent upon award, general liability and auto liability insurance, Buy American compliance, Davis-Bacon wage certifications where applicable, and compliance with state and local set-aside or preference programs such as SBE/CBE price-match provisions in Florida or local-vendor preferences under state law.
