NIGP 07294: Wreckers, Complete (see 065-95 for Wrecker Bodies)

NIGP 07294 Wreckers, Complete, an Item code, covers the procurement of complete wrecker vehicles—primarily heavy-duty towing and recovery trucks equipped with specialized winch systems, carrier bodies, and integrated towing apparatus—that state and local governments purchase for fleet operations and emergency-response infrastructure. The code captures single-unit and multi-unit vehicle acquisitions across diverse issuing bodies including state transportation and public-safety departments, county emergency services, city fleet divisions, and regional airport authorities.

State and local procurement under this code centers on purpose-built wrecker vehicles meeting detailed technical specifications. The Texas Department of Public Safety has issued multiple IFBs for single Peterbilt 537 wrecker trucks equipped with Jerr-Dan carrier bodies, complete with engine, transmission, winch, cab amenities, telematics hardware, and compliance certifications; the City of Wichita's Public Works & Utilities Department solicited a single-cab LCG Rollback Wrecker through RFB 260106 with delivery and training requirements due May 15, 2026; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued RFP RP015-26 for wrecker services on a multi-year contract running through 2030, encompassing light, medium, and heavy-duty fleet operations across 437 square miles serving 17 municipalities. The Augusta Regional Airport (City of Augusta, Georgia) separately sought ARFF vehicles under ITB 26-268, representing specialized wrecker and recovery equipment for airport rescue and firefighting. Issuing bodies range from state agencies (Texas DPS) to municipal fleet operations (Wichita) and county emergency services (Gwinnett County), with activity concentrated in Texas and Georgia. The recent opportunity mix includes vehicle procurement ITBs and RFBs from state and municipal purchasing, alongside service-based RFPs where counties contract with private wrecker operators on multi-year, renewable terms with specified pricing schedules by duty class and mileage rates.
