NIGP 07350: Trailers, Utility, Tilt Deck, Tag-Along

NIGP 07350 Trailers, Utility, Tilt Deck, Tag-Along is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized equipment trailers for fleet operations, heavy equipment transport, refuse management, and general utility use. Recent solicitations show counties and cities acquiring lowboy equipment trailers rated 35 tons, walking-floor refuse transfer trailers, dump trailers with hydraulic systems, and side-dump box equipment trailers—predominantly through competitive sealed bids (RFB, ITB) and requests for quotation (RFQ). County fleet departments and solid waste divisions are the dominant issuing bodies, with state departments and municipalities appearing less frequently. Sacramento County has posted multiple solicitations for the same 35-ton lowboy specification, suggesting repeat procurement cycles within established fleets. Insurance requirements are consistent across solicitations, typically requiring $1 million to $2 million in general liability and commercial automobile coverage. Delivery specifications emphasize FOB Destination freight-prepaid pricing, with payment terms ranging from NET 30 to NET 45. Pre-bid meetings are standard, and local or micro-business price preferences appear in California procurements where applicable.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Sacramento County, Marion County Florida, and City of Tucson), Georgia (DeKalb County, City of Atlanta, Fulton County), and Kentucky, with scattered activity in Texas and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Sacramento County's RFB 2026RFB0067 for one 35-ton lowboy equipment trailer with mandatory pre-bid on July 15, 2026, and bids due August 3, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.; DeKalb County's ITB #2026-084 for 12 walking-floor open refuse transfer trailers with bids due July 20, 2026; Marion County Solid Waste's ITB 26B-078 for a 21-foot side-dump equipment trailer with bids due May 21, 2026; and the City of Atlanta's IFB for heavy-duty trailers, repair services, and parts across 12 equipment groups with bids due May 1, 2026. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an RFQ for three dump trailers submitted in-person at a spot-bid fair on May 11–12, 2026. Trade-in allowances appear in multiple Sacramento County solicitations, and warranty, local service support, and delivery lead time are consistent evaluation criteria.
