NIGP 07191: Vans, Customized

NIGP 07191 Vans, Customized (Item) covers the procurement of purpose-built and upfitted vans by state and local government agencies. State and local governments buy customized transit and service vehicles under this code — including animal control vans with integrated temperature-controlled animal containment, mobile crisis response units with clinical interiors and information technology systems, mobile medical vans retrofitted with refrigeration and power generation, mobile command centers for fire and emergency services, and step vans configured for construction and maintenance operations. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county departments of transportation, county animal control, county fire and emergency services, county water districts, health and human services departments, and county boards of commissioners. County governments dominate recent activity, with Riverside County, Sacramento County, Hillsborough County (Florida), and Rockland County (New York) each posting multiple recent solicitations. Texas entities — including Gulf Coast Center, Texas Health and Human Services Department, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center — account for a secondary tier of activity. The scope of work reflects operational diversity: procurement spans both base vehicles with factory specifications and turnkey upfit services combining design, construction, installation, testing, and delivery.

California and Florida account for the most concentrated recent activity, with Texas representing secondary volume. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00260, posted May 5, 2026, for three Ford Transit 350 15-passenger recreation vans and two Saf-T-Liner C2 passenger buses (estimated value $460,000, bids due May 28, 2026); Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0106, posted October 1, 2026, to upfit five county-owned Freightliner step vans in three distinct configurations for transportation and water resources departments (bids due November 4, 2026, with 2% micro-business and 5% local-business preferences); Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00358, posted July 29, 2026, for three medium-roof animal control vans with integrated temperature-controlled cage compartments (estimated value $270,000, bids due August 18, 2026); and Gulf Coast Center's RFP for two turnkey mobile crisis response units in Texas (proposals due September 4, 2026). Recent procurement also includes Riverside County's paired RFBs RFPHH3986 and RFPHH3985 (posted October 9, 2026, bids due November 6, 2026) for 1/2-ton and 1-ton pickup trucks configured with fuel storage capability.
