NIGP 07105: Automobiles, Police and Security Equipped

NIGP 07105 Automobiles, Police and Security Equipped is an Item code capturing the purchase and outfitting of law enforcement patrol and pursuit vehicles—primarily police interceptors, SUVs, pickup trucks, and specialty platforms equipped with emergency lighting, ballistic protection, communications systems, and related law enforcement hardware. State and local police and sheriff's departments, state law enforcement agencies, school district police units, and county public safety operations dominate recent procurement activity; Georgia has emerged as a repeat buyer, with Chatham County, Burke County, and Whitfield County each issuing multiple notices for patrol and pursuit vehicles in the past four months, and the Georgia Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Division issuing statewide contract solicitations in both August and September 2026. Most solicitations follow one of two patterns: single or small-batch purchases of police interceptor utility vehicles (typically Ford Interceptor Utility or Chevrolet Tahoe PPV) via sealed IFB or ITB for immediate operational need, or larger statewide or county-level framework contracts establishing unit pricing and delivery terms for year-round fleet renewal. The Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board conducted an emergency procurement for eight 2026 Ford Police Interceptor Utility AWD vehicles with full emergency equipment installation and licensing from Morrow Brothers Ford (total: $434,768.00) due to a restricted ordering window for police pursuit vehicles and hiring timelines that exceeded standard competitive processes; award notification posted October 19, 2026, with delivery required by January 2027.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions, with particular concentration in Georgia, Texas, California, and the Midwest. The Florida Department of Financial Services Division of Criminal Investigations issued an RFP (responses due July 17, 2026, revised to July 15 via Addendum 1) for build-out and equipment installation of two Ford F-550 4x4 Super Cab Chassis vehicles—a specialized operations platform distinct from standard patrol vehicles—with 83 specified line items covering structural components, electrical systems, diesel generators, LED light towers, and emergency warning systems. The Texas Department of Public Safety solicited bids for fourteen 2026–or-newer high-performance two-door coupes (Ford Mustang Dark Horse or Chevrolet Corvette Stingray equivalent, minimum 475 hp V8) with law enforcement upfits including Whelen emergency lighting, Harris mobile radio, LensLock video recording, and ballistic armor, with bids due September 29, 2026 and HUB subcontracting requirements. The City of San Antonio Police Department sought four new 2026–or-newer Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit vehicles via RFO with mandatory pre-bid conference on May 19, 2026, and submissions due May 27, 2026. The County of Orange, California, Sheriff-Coroner Department issued an IFB for installation and outfitting of law enforcement equipment on multiple vehicles—a services contract for emergency lighting, siren systems, in-car video, radio communications, vehicle partitions, and K-9 transport equipment on firm fixed-fee plus hourly labor rate structure with three-year initial term and two optional renewals. Purchasing patterns indicate steady demand for standard patrol vehicles with police packages, growing interest in specialized platforms (high-performance sedans, medium-duty chassis for mobile operations), equipment installation and upfitting as a standalone service opportunity, and statewide cooperative purchasing frameworks that extend beyond direct state agency needs to county and municipal fleet operators.
