NIGP 07186: Trams, Touring

NIGP 07186 Trams, Touring is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialty touring and sightseeing vehicles, including tram systems and related equipment for public transportation and recreational use. Recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal; the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains no active procurement records for touring trams or tram-related goods and services. One listing is an administrative relocation notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department with no procurement scope, and a second is a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626, due June 16, 2026) that falls outside the touring tram commodity family and does not represent activity under this code.

Without recent competitive solicitations in the available record, no geographic concentration, issuing-body mix, or representative procurement patterns can be drawn from state and local activity. Business development professionals should monitor this code for future activity, as tram and touring-vehicle procurement typically occurs on an irregular basis tied to capital planning cycles at transit authorities, municipalities with heritage or tourism districts, and special-purpose recreation districts. When opportunities do surface, they are likely to be structured as RFPs or ITBs through transportation or recreation departments in mid-sized and larger municipalities, particularly those with established sightseeing corridors or heritage tourism zones.
