NIGP 07315: Trailers, Specialty, Frame, Tag-Along

NIGP 07315 Trailers, Specialty, Frame, Tag-Along is an Item code under which state and local governments procure mission-specific trailers for debris management, portable sanitation, food service, and landscape transport. Recent solicitations show a mix of dump trailers with hydraulic grapple arms for storm cleanup, enclosed utility and hygiene trailers for facilities management, mobile concession trailers for university dining operations, kayak landscape trailers for state parks, and heavy-duty lowboy equipment trailers for construction material transport. Issuing bodies include county fleet and purchasing departments (Habersham County, Sacramento County, DeKalb County), state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, TxDOT), and municipal governments (City of Tucson). Habersham County appears as a repeat buyer, having posted two grapple dump trailer RFQs within two weeks in early September 2026. The code captures both straightforward equipment purchases and more complex turnkey designs with integrated systems and customized specifications.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia), Southwest (Texas, Arizona), and California, with additional procurement in Georgia. Representative opportunities include Habersham County Board of Commissioners' RFQ for an 18'–20' grapple dump trailer with 21-foot minimum reach and 22,000 lb. GVWR for storm debris management, due October 15, 2026; Sacramento County's RFB for a 7,000 lb. GVWR enclosed utility trailer with integrated bathroom and storage, due October 27, 2026, with local business and micro-business price preferences available; Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for nine custom kayak landscape trailers, due September 9, 2026; and Texas A&M University-Kingsville's RFP for a fully outfitted 20-foot mobile concession trailer with commercial kitchen equipment, proposals due September 30, 2026. Pricing appears to encompass the trailer itself, delivery, freight, training, documentation, and warranties, with bidders required to carry commercial general liability of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence and proof of insurance before contract award.
