NIGP 07156: Motorcycles

NIGP 07156 Motorcycles is an Item code under which state and local governments procure law enforcement patrol and pursuit motorcycles, trail-oriented bikes for resource management agencies, and related warranty and service support. Recent solicitations focus on certified police models—primarily BMW R 1300 RT-P and Harley-Davidson Road Glide variants—with specifications for emergency lighting, integrated law enforcement equipment mounts, anti-lock braking systems, and adaptive cruise control. Issuing bodies span state transportation and public safety departments, county sheriff offices, city police departments, and independent state agencies. The Maryland Transportation Authority, City of St. Cloud (Florida), State of Nevada, City of Atlanta Police Department, Illinois Department of Central Management Services, and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts have all solicited under this code within the past six months. Some procurements bundle motorcycles with repair services, OEM parts supply, diagnostics, and warranty coverage; others address specialized outdoor use such as the Idaho Department of Fish & Game's trail-oriented motorcycle quotes. Sourcing spans multiple geographies with activity in Florida, Maryland, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Idaho, alongside a Sourcewell cooperative procurement serving jurisdictions nationwide.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-071A1 for law enforcement motorcycles (12 units, specifications requiring 2026 or newer models with minimum 1300cc engines and three-year or 60,000-mile warranties, bids due May 19, 2026, with four renewal option periods through April 2030); the Illinois Department of Central Management Services joint purchase master contract IFB 27-416CMS-BOSS4-B-52578 for police pursuit motorcycles to be purchased on an as-needed basis by governmental units statewide (bids due July 2, 2026, with a five-year initial term extendable to ten years, and a pre-bid conference held June 17, 2026); the City of Atlanta Police Department's IFB/GS/DPW/2605-1260198 for fully equipped law-enforcement-ready motorcycles plus repair services, OEM parts, diagnostics, and training (bids due June 8, 2026); and the Maryland Transportation Authority's IFB CC-00211754 for one Harley-Davidson 1982cc Road Glide Police motorcycle with three-year warranty and 12-month extended coverage (bids due October 15, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles and joint master contracts dominate state-level activity, expanding vendor reach across dozens of jurisdictions through single awards.
