NIGP 07203: Class 3 Trucks (10,001 - 14,000 Lb. GVWR)

NIGP 07203 Class 3 Trucks (10,001–14,000 lb. GVWR), an Item code, encompasses cab-and-chassis trucks, pickup trucks with utility bodies, and specialized service vehicles in the 3/4-ton to one-ton weight class that state and local governments procure for public works, fleet maintenance, utilities, and emergency response operations. Recent solicitations show consistent demand for new Ford F-350 and Chevrolet 2500 crew cabs with service bodies, utility beds, and specialized upfitting—particularly among county public works departments, water utilities, and municipal fleet divisions. State agencies and special districts also solicit under this code for emergency vehicle procurement, as evidenced by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's June 2026 sole-source acquisition of seven Ford F-350 and F-150 trucks totaling $446,852.81.

Issuing bodies span county commissions, city public works and fleet divisions, water authorities, and regional emergency management agencies, with repeat activity from Georgia jurisdictions (Floyd County, Colquitt County, City of Rome, Macon Water Authority, and Cobb County Schools) and Texas municipalities (City of San Antonio and City of Wichita). Recent opportunities include Colquitt County's sealed bid for two 3500 crew cab service trucks with utility bodies due July 28, 2026 (IFB); Floyd County Board of Commissioners' solicitation for one Ford F-350XL with Knapheide service body due July 7, 2026; the City of San Antonio's RFB for 21 public safety response vehicles including Class 2, 3, and 4 trucks due June 26, 2026; and the Macon Water Authority's invitation for bids on 15 new 2026 Ford trucks across multiple configurations due March 10, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary solicitation volume in California, Kansas, Connecticut, Ohio, and Florida. Specifications consistently emphasize crew cab configurations, V8 gasoline or diesel engines, 4WD capability, and either service bodies with tool storage or specialized emergency and operational upfitting, reflecting end-user needs for durability and field functionality rather than light-duty commodity procurement.
