NIGP 06585 Tool Compartment Boxes (For Trucks) is an Item code covering specialized storage and equipment compartments installed on light and heavy-duty trucks used by state and local agencies. Based on recent state and local opportunities, the code captures procurement of truck-mounted storage systems ranging from UTV bed storage units for police and municipal operations to full utility body compartments and service bodies integrated into bucket trucks and specialty vehicles. Soliciting bodies include state transportation departments, city public works and water utilities, county governments, and municipal police departments; representative recent buyers include the State of New Jersey Department of Transportation, the City of Austin, the City of Cumming Georgia, and Terrell County Georgia. The work spans one-time purchases of specialized storage for specific vehicle fleets, integrated equipment procurement on cab-and-chassis contracts, and rebid efforts for capital equipment replacement.
