NIGP 07324: Trailers, Transport, Dry Bulk

NIGP 07324 Trailers, Transport, Dry Bulk (Item) represents specialized transport equipment that state and local governments procure for fleet operations, heavy equipment movement, refuse management, and emergency services. Recent solicitations show state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose transit authorities buying lowboy equipment trailers, walking floor open refuse transfer trailers, refrigerated and dry van semi-trailers, dump trailers, and associated brake repair and component services. Sacramento County's Request for Bid for a 35-ton capacity lowboy equipment trailer with air-ride suspension and detachable gooseneck illustrates the technical specificity typical under this code, as does the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement for 10 refrigeration trailers and 20 dry van trailers through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. DeKalb County Fleet Department has posted two separate solicitations for walking floor open refuse transfer trailers (12 units and 2 units respectively), reflecting repeat buying activity in municipal waste operations.

Activity under this code spans California, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with Sacramento County, DeKalb County, the City of Atlanta, and the City of Tucson among recent issuers. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice procurement (IFB 304T-26-696-1034950) closed June 18, 2026, with specifications including approved manufacturers (Great Dane, Utility, Wabash, Stoughton) and detailed requirements for refrigeration and dry van configurations; the Sacramento County lowboy trailer RFB (2025-RFB-0086) includes a pre-bid meeting on December 2, 2025, and a response deadline of December 22, 2025 at 3:00 pm, with local and micro-business price preferences (5 percent and 2 percent respectively) built into evaluation. The City of Tucson's formal RFP (240171) for trailer brakes, components, and repair services closes August 13, 2024 and covers 114 line items spanning utility, dump bed, drop deck, and tilt bed trailers across municipal and water departments. DeKalb County's ITB #2026-084 for 12 walking floor trailers closed July 20, 2026; the earlier ITB #2026-017 for 2 units closed March 11, 2026.
