NIGP 07343: Trailers, Utility, Enclosed, Tag-Along

NIGP 07343 Trailers, Utility, Enclosed, Tag-Along (Item code) encompasses the purchase and lease of enclosed utility trailers, dump trailers, refuse transfer trailers, and specialized hauling equipment that state and local governments acquire for fleet operations, waste management, recycling, and field transportation needs. State and local issuing bodies—primarily county fleet departments, water authorities, solid waste operations, and state environmental agencies—solicit for single units through small fleet procurements and multi-unit standing orders using ITBs, RFQs, and RFPs. Recent solicitations show governments buying walking-floor refuse transfer trailers with hydraulic systems, gooseneck flatbed units with 18,000-pound GVWR ratings, side-dump trailers with compartmentalized configurations, and specialized enclosed utility trailers for law enforcement and emergency response. Specifications typically call for FOB Destination pricing, minimum two-year warranties, new equipment only, full DOT compliance, and compliance certifications including debarment status, E-Verify eligibility, and state-specific vendor requirements such as HUB or service-disabled veteran disclosures.

Recent activity spans Texas (Texas Animal Health Commission requesting two flatbed trailers—a 20-foot gooseneck and 16-foot bumper pull—under IFB 554-26-005 with July 15, 2026 close), Georgia (Pickens County Recycle procuring a four-compartment hydraulic dump trailer with May 8, 2026 deadline; Fulton County and Colquitt City seeking two heavy-duty hydraulic dump trailers via RFQ closed March 20, 2026), Florida (Marion County Solid Waste bidding an equipment trailer with front side-dump box under ITB 26B-078 due May 21, 2026), and Illinois (the state Department of Natural Resources procuring four enclosed snowmobile trailers due February 19, 2026).
