NIGP 07208: Class 8 Trucks (33,001 Lb. GVWR and Over)

NIGP 07208 Class 8 Trucks (33,001 Lb. GVWR and Over) is an Item code covering specialized heavy-duty vehicles and chassis that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, waste collection, emergency response, and fleet operations. Recent solicitations show state DOTs, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts actively buying truck-mounted cranes, dump trucks with specialized bodies, water trucks, vacuum trucks, refuse collection trucks, boom trucks, and cab-and-chassis units for varied operational missions. The issuing-body mix spans state transportation departments (Texas DOT, Illinois DOT), county road departments and public works, city waste management and public works divisions, school districts, utility providers, and fire protection districts. Texas and Illinois dominate recent activity, with additional opportunities from Georgia, California, Mississippi, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, and South Carolina counties and municipalities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Transportation's request for a 17-ton truck-mounted crane on a tandem-axle chassis (responses due November 6, 2026, IFB 601440000054549), the Illinois Department of Transportation's procurement of a Super Tandem Dump truck with Pusher Axle, 86,000 GVWR for Day Labor operations (responses due October 26, 2026, IFB B-53944), Colquitt County, Georgia's sealed-bid solicitation for one new 2,000-gallon water truck with 33,000 GVWR minimum and diesel engine (responses due October 20, 2026), and the City of San Antonio's request for forty-eight turnkey automated side-load refuse collection trucks under NIGP 072-08 (responses due May 22, 2026, RFO 6100019680). The County of Sacramento's competitive procurements for six new 10-wheel dump trucks with CARB emissions compliance (responses due August 25, 2026, RFB 2026-RFB-0081) and one two-axle dump truck emphasizing Federal 2010 emissions standards (responses due August 26, 2026, RFB 2026-RFB-0082) reflect municipal interest in emissions-compliant heavy vehicles. Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' statewide vehicle procurement (IFB 304T-27-070A1, responses due October 6, 2026) structures awards across multiple vendors and vehicle series with a mandatory 1.0% service-disabled veteran utilization goal, serving state agencies and cooperative purchasing members statewide. Local-vendor preferences (3–5%) appear in several municipal and county solicitations; prevailing-wage and emissions-compliance requirements dominate technical specifications, particularly in California and Illinois.
