NIGP 07330: Trailers, Transport, Machinery

NIGP 07330 Trailers, Transport, Machinery is an Item code encompassing the purchase and maintenance of heavy-duty trailers, specialized transport equipment, and related parts and repair services. State and local governments are actively procuring under this code to support public works, fleet operations, waste management, water utilities, and event support—buying equipment trailers, dump trailers, grapple trailers, refuse transfer trailers, and associated on-site repair and maintenance contracts. The issuing bodies span city departments of public works (Atlanta, Phoenix, Tucson), county fleets (DeKalb, Sacramento, Habersham, Pickens, Floyd), water authorities (Macon), state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Comptroller), and educational institutions (Texas A&M University-Kingsville). Activity is concentrated in the South and Southwest, with the most recent and active solicitations originating from Georgia (Atlanta, DeKalb, Habersham, Pickens, Macon, Floyd) and Texas (Houston-area and El Paso regions), alongside secondary activity in California (Sacramento), Arizona (Phoenix), and Florida (Pinellas).

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works IFB for heavy-duty trailers, repair services, and parts with responses due October 21, 2026; Habersham County Board of Commissioners RFQ for a commercial-grade 18'–20' grapple dump trailer rated 22,000 lb. GVWR with hydraulic grapple arm and 21-foot reach, due October 15, 2026; Sacramento County's RFB for a 35-ton capacity lowboy equipment trailer with detachable gooseneck and trade-in option, bid responses due December 22, 2025; the State of Texas Comptroller IFB for 27 heavy-duty trailers across six product groups (beavertail tandem and triple axle, sliding triple axle, folding gooseneck, DGN, and belly dump) with optional composite flooring and hydraulic winches, responses due May 14, 2026; the City of Phoenix five-year contract for hydraulic lifts, transport trailers up to 80,000 lb. GVWR, and facilities warehouse utility equipment with sealed offers due October 6, 2026; and DeKalb County Fleet Department ITB for 12 walking floor open refuse transfer trailers, bids due July 20, 2026. Repair and maintenance contracts are emerging as a secondary track—the City of Tucson RFP for portable hygiene trailer repair and maintenance with 24/7 emergency service requirements, and Macon Water Authority's bid for a valve maintenance trailer equipped with ERV-750 extended reach exerciser, spoils tank, and GPS connectivity. Vendors responding must typically be authorized dealers or distributors, maintain local service capacity with 24-hour to 72-hour response guarantees, carry general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, and meet state-specific compliance requirements including HUB subcontracting plans (Texas), E-Verify registration, and tax-exempt entity handling (where applicable).
