NIGP 07102: All Terrain Amphibious Vehicles, Search and Rescue

NIGP 07102 All Terrain Amphibious Vehicles, Search and Rescue is an Item code under which state and local governments procure small all-terrain and utility vehicles for operational deployment by police, fire, emergency management, and water authority agencies. Recent solicitations show concrete purchasing of Honda Fourtrax ATVs, Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles, Jeep Wranglers, and purpose-built electric three-wheel emergency response units, with scope extending beyond rescue to include patrol, fleet diversification, and specialized law enforcement functions. The issuing-body mix spans state agencies (Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet), county governments (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, San Bernardino County Land Use Services), municipal police and fire departments (City of Brookhaven, City of Santa Monica Police Department), water authorities (Macon Water Authority), and higher-education institutions (Jackson State University on behalf of the State of Mississippi Department of Public Safety). Kentucky emerged as a significant repeat buyer, posting multiple RFBs for eight Honda Fourtrax Rancher 4x4 units for the Kentucky State Police Cannabis Suppression Branch between June and July 2026, with response dates of June 16 and July 13, 2026, and delivery required by September 30, 2026. Bidders on the Kentucky procurements face reciprocal preferences for Kentucky resident vendors and preference points (15–20 percent of maximum) for Kentucky Correctional Industries, Kentucky Industries for the Blind, and qualifying nonprofit agencies serving individuals with severe disabilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West: Kentucky (multiple state police ATV procurements), Georgia (Macon Water Authority and City of Brookhaven), California (San Bernardino County and City of Santa Monica), Mississippi (Jackson State University and State Department of Public Safety), and Florida (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue). Representative solicitations include the Commonwealth of Kentucky RFB 758 2600000678 (eight Honda Fourtrax Rancher 4x4 units, IFB format, July 13, 2026 response date, best-value scoring with 90 points for price and 10 points for delivery time); Macon Water Authority IFB 26-017-MWA (two Kawasaki Mule PRO-FXT 1000 LE vehicles, June 18, 2026 response date, public opening at 2:00 p.m.); and City of Santa Monica ITB 12601917 (four Polaris GENERAL XP 4 1000 Premium multi-utility vehicles with police accessories, May 11, 2026 response date, California specifications required). The Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice (posted July 14, 2026) carries no procurement scope and should not be pursued. Delivery deadlines are typically tight (30–150 days from award), freight charges are consistently quoted F.O.B. Destination prepaid, and insurance requirements (Commercial General Liability $1 million per occurrence minimum) are standard.
