NIGP 07003: Ambulances and Rescue Vehicles

NIGP 07003 Ambulances And Rescue Vehicles is an Item code that has been inactivated as of January 1, 2006, with procurement activity redirected to Classes 071, 072, and 073. Recent state and local solicitations under this code's successor classes show government purchases of specialized emergency response and detention facility equipment, including full-body scanner systems for correctional admissions screening, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle retrofits and new acquisitions, comprehensive maintenance and repair services for diverse ambulance and EMS vehicle fleets, and associated technical support. Issuing bodies include county detention authorities (Collin County, Texas), municipal fire and airport operations (City of Pembroke Pines, Florida; City of Augusta, Georgia), county emergency services (Broward County, Florida), and city departments of public works partnering with fire-rescue operations (City of Atlanta). The scope spans both capital acquisitions—new ARFF vehicles and full-body scanner installations with turnkey implementation—and recurring services including bi-annual preventative maintenance, collision and body repairs, electrical and HVAC system work, oxygen system servicing, and 24/7 emergency support for critical fleet repairs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Collin County's RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system for the Adult Detention Facility (response due September 17, 2026, estimated first-year cost $242,000); the City of Pembroke Pines' quick-quote solicitation FI26QQ04 to retrofit a 2022 Chevy Silverado 4500 with a Burner 450/100 Skid System and AFFF turret nozzle for Airport Rescue Fire Fighting operations (due August 5, 2026, estimated project cost $25,000); the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works' SOQ/GS/DPW/2604-1260186/EMS Repairs and Services procurement seeking comprehensive inspection, maintenance, diagnostic, and emergency support for International Braun and Ford Transit ambulances, Polaris EMS UTVs, and related equipment (due May 29, 2026); and Augusta Regional Airport's ITB 26-268 for an ARFF vehicle (due June 15, 2026). Vendors pursuing these opportunities must demonstrate specialized certifications (factory authorization for ambulance and EMS equipment vendors; compliance with FAA 14 CFR, CDRH FDA, UL/CSA, and FCC standards for detention equipment; NFPA 1911 and KKK-A-1822-F compliance for EMS services) and carry insurance ranging from $1 million to $2 million in general liability coverage.
