NIGP 07192: Vans, Passenger (Regular and Handicapped Equipped)

NIGP 07192 Vans, Passenger (Regular and Handicapped Equipped) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure full-size and mid-size passenger vans, many equipped with wheelchair lifts and ADA accessibility features, for transit agencies, human services departments, school districts, and county fleet operations. Recent solicitations reveal buying across non-lift passenger vans (12- to 15-passenger capacity), wheelchair-accessible minivans and full-size vans with Braun or Ricon lifts, and specialized configurations such as animal control vans with temperature-controlled cargo compartments and paratransit shuttles on cutaway chassis. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation and human services, county commissioners and fleet management offices, city transit authorities, school districts, universities, and regional purchasing cooperatives.
