NIGP 06590: Van Truck Bodies

NIGP 06590 Van Truck Bodies, an Item code, encompasses custom-upfitted and specialty-configured light- and medium-duty van and pickup-truck bodies that state and local governments procure for departmental operations — including utility service bodies, animal control vans, mobile command centers, cutaway service vans, and step-van upfits on manufacturer chassis. Recent solicitations show counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities buying complete upfitted units or contractor services to configure bare chassis into operational vehicles with integrated storage, equipment compartments, climate control, electrical systems, and purpose-built interiors. Issuing bodies span county departments of transportation and public works, county fire and emergency services, county animal control, municipal utilities, school districts, and city fleets. Sacramento County and Riverside County appear as repeat buyers, with activity concentrated across California, Florida, Missouri, Texas, Indiana, and Mississippi over the past six months.
