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

NIGP 07192 Vans, Passenger (Regular and Handicapped Equipped), Item code, encompasses state and local procurement of single-unit and fleet passenger vans, wheelchair-accessible transit vans, and multi-passenger vehicles for transportation programs serving the public and staff. State and local governments currently solicit under this code for ADA-compliant shuttle buses, paratransit vehicles, fleet replacements, and specialized transport — illustrated by recent opportunities including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid for 2027 Type 3 Transit Vehicle Buses (IFB HHS0017353, due July 21, 2026), the City of San Antonio's request for two ADA-accessible passenger shuttle buses (IFB 6100019696, bid deadline passed June 12, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's bid for 2027 model vehicles (RFP2026087, due July 2, 2026). Issuing bodies span state agencies, counties, cities, independent school districts, regional transit authorities, and university departments; Texas appears as a repeat buyer (HHSC, TDCJ, San Antonio, NISD, Trinity Metro), and California counties (San Bernardino, Hillsborough, Santa Clara) show sustained activity. Procurement spans dedicated paratransit contracts under RFP notice type — such as Monroe County, Florida's Social Services Transportation Disadvantaged Program (RFP638, due July 21, 2026, seeking door-to-door service with 15+ years provider experience and three ADA-compliant vehicles) — and capital goods buys via IFB and ITB for fleet vans and buses with specifications for 7-passenger, 12-passenger, and 15-passenger configurations, wheelchair lifts, backup cameras, and ADAS integration.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas (state health services, Dallas-Fort Worth transit), California (county fleets in San Bernardino and Hillsborough, county library district bookmobile), Illinois (DCFS seven-passenger van procurement, two separate IFBs for 15 vans each, PO26-558 and related), Florida (Hillsborough County ITB2600260 for Ford Transit 350 vans and Saf-T-Liner buses, $460,000 estimated, due May 28, 2026; Monroe County paratransit RFP), and scattered demand across Michigan (MDOT accessible minivan RFP awarded to Hoekstra Transportation, Inc. at $3.9 million range), Georgia (City of Rome Ford Transit XL bid), and university procurement (Angelo State University 12-passenger van bid). Hillsborough County (ITB-26-00260) exemplifies multi-unit solicitation seeking three Ford Transit 350 15-passenger vans and two Saf-T-Liner C2 81-passenger buses with $460,000 budget and May 28 deadline; San Bernardino County's individual ITB for one 2026 Ford T350 Transit ADA Van (due March 12, 2026) and separate low-roof Transit bid represent unit-level replacement procurement. Illinois Department of Children and Family Services conducted back-to-back seven-passenger van IFBs (April 2 and May 8 postings, both for 15 units, July 31 delivery target). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide entities (due June 16, 2026). Local vendor preferences operate in San Bernardino County (5% advantage) and Santa Clara County Library District's bookmobile RFP (5% evaluation points for local business). No recent opportunities show a pattern of set-asides for SBE, MBE, or DBE, though Texas emphasizes HUB subcontracting encouragement and Illinois allows vendors to self-designate minority or veteran status. Activity under the code remains steady and geographically distributed, with most solicitations posted May through July 2026, suggesting mid-fiscal-year capital replenishment and specialized service contract cycles.
