NIGP 07089: Trams, Touring

NIGP 07089 Trams, Touring (Item) was inactivated effective January 1, 2006, and solicitations previously falling under this code have been redirected to Class 071, 072, and 073. However, recent state and local procurement activity continues to reflect the transportation services that once populated this category — specifically, charter transportation and tour-bus services for educational, recreational, and public-facility-access purposes. State and local governments currently buy vehicle-based touring and group transportation through successor codes, procuring charter buses, shuttles, vans, and other commercial passenger vehicles configured for guided tours, group outings, and educational experiences. These purchases span county solid-waste departments, park and recreation agencies, and other public bodies seeking to provide organized transportation for school groups, tourists, and adult constituencies.

Pinellas County (Florida) Solid Waste posted an ITQ on October 9, 2026 (due October 6, 2026 via OpenGov) for charter transportation services supporting educational tours of its Solid Waste Disposal Complex. The scope covered van, mini-bus, and charter-bus configurations with pricing for 2-hour minimum trips, hourly extensions, and cancellation charges, with preference extended to Florida Certified Small Business Enterprises submitting within the first five business days of the notice. The contract term was 12 months with two optional 12-month extensions, contingent on unchanged pricing and county administrator approval. Vendors required current certificates of insurance with combined single limits of $1 million per accident naming the county as additional insured, and were obligated to maintain an updated vehicle inventory by year, make, model, VIN, and inspection date, verified through an in-person test run of the landfill route prior to contract commencement.
