NIGP 07328: Trailers, Transport, Equipment, Tilt Deck, Tag-Along

NIGP 07328 Trailers, Transport, Equipment, Tilt Deck, Tag-Along is an Item code covering the procurement of specialized trailers and towed equipment by state and local governments for debris removal, equipment transport, utility and sanitation services, and mobile facilities. State and local buyers under this code include county governments (Habersham County in Georgia, Sacramento County and DeKalb County in other states), state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas A&M University-Kingsville), city public works departments (Phoenix), and statewide procurement vehicles (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Sourcewell cooperative). Recent solicitations center on grapple dump trailers for storm debris, heavy-duty lowboy and equipment trailers rated 35 tons and higher for construction transport, enclosed utility and hygiene trailers with bathroom and storage, walking floor refuse transfer trailers for waste management, and mobile concession trailers for food service. The mix of issuing bodies reflects both direct government procurement and cooperative purchasing arrangements serving multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with concentration in Texas, Georgia, and California. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB in August 2026 for 13 tilt deck trailers across six configurations for state parks, and the Texas Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issued an IFB in May 2026 for heavy-duty trailers including beavertail, FGN, and belly dump configurations on a statewide contract with renewal options through 2030. Habersham County in Georgia posted two RFQs in September 2026 (due dates September 16 and October 15, 2026) for identical commercial-grade grapple dump trailers rated 22,000 pounds GVWR with 21-foot-reach hydraulic arms for storm debris management. Sacramento County issued RFBs in June and August 2026 for 35-ton lowboy equipment trailers with trade-in options and for a 7,000-pound single-axle enclosed utility trailer with bathroom and storage (due October 27, 2026). The City of Phoenix Public Works issued a solicitation in September 2026 (due October 6, 2026) for hydraulic lifts and transport trailers under a five-year contract. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, solicited proposals in May 2026 for trailers with related equipment and services (due June 25, 2026) to establish a statewide contracting solution. The City of Tucson issued an RFP for portable hygiene trailer repair and maintenance services. Texas A&M University-Kingsville requested proposals for a mobile concession trailer design and build (due September 30, 2026). These procurements require sealed submissions, often mandate pre-bid or pre-offer conferences, emphasize compliance with local business preferences where available, and enforce comprehensive insurance and warranty documentation prior to award.
