NIGP 06585: Tool Compartment Boxes (for Trucks)

NIGP 06585 Tool Compartment Boxes (For Trucks), an Item code, encompasses secure storage solutions for vehicles and equipment—including tool lockers, bed storage units, and organizational compartments—that state and local governments procure for transit systems, municipal departments, and field operations. Recent solicitations show demand for both fixed installation (rail maintenance tool storage) and vehicle-mounted or transportable units (UTV bed storage boxes) designed for organized, weatherproof equipment protection in operational environments. Transit authorities and municipal departments lead the issuing activity under this code, with Charlotte Area Transit System and City of Austin among recent buyers.

Charlotte Area Transit System issued an IFB for tool storage lockers for rail operations with a response date of November 23, 2026, seeking secure equipment storage for maintenance-of-way and mechanical shops. The City of Austin, Texas, issued an Invitation for Quotation (IFQ) for three AnyGlide 1183 Polaris Ranger SXS UTV full bed storage units with specific technical requirements (electronic locks, LED lighting, aluminum construction, weatherproof design, 250-pound per-drawer capacity) for the Downtown Area Command Department, with quotations due May 14, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and North Carolina, though the code sees procurement activity across state and local transit and municipal jurisdictions.
