NIGP 07544: Lifts and Hoists, Floor Type: Electric, Hydraulic, or Pneumatic

NIGP 07544 Lifts And Hoists, Floor Type: Electric, Hydraulic, Or Pneumatic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure heavy-duty vehicle lifts, material-handling hoists, and associated lifting equipment for fleet maintenance, solid waste operations, and facility-based transportation infrastructure. Recent solicitations show county and municipal purchasing offices buying everything from OEM-specified lift systems for waste-fleet servicing to general-purpose 18,000-pound vehicle shop lifts, alongside specialized equipment like confined-space entry systems and rigging hoists for event venues. Issuing bodies span county departments (solid waste, roads and bridges, water utilities), municipal transportation fleets, municipal convention facilities, state technical colleges, and water authorities. Brevard County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Barrow County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Charlotte Water in North Carolina, and Eastern Municipal Water District in California appear as recent solicitors; Texas State Technical College and the City of Tucson round out the active jurisdictions. Procurement structures vary from single-vendor sole-source acquisitions to competitive RFP and IFB processes, with some jurisdictions using cooperative-purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell agreements to access manufacturer equipment and services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, North Carolina, and Texas, though Maryland, Arizona, and Michigan also show recent procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Brevard County's sole-source procurement (RFB posted October 19, 2026, response due February 4, 2026) for OEM Gray QL20C-2 heavy-duty lifting equipment used in solid waste fleet maintenance; Barrow County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid request for one heavy-duty 18,000-pound vehicle shop lift for the Fleet Maintenance Division (RFB2027-09, due October 29, 2026); and Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP3972 for quarterly inspections, annual certifications, and repair of forty-eight overhead and mobile cranes at Riverside County, California facilities (proposals due September 3, 2026). Orange County, Florida's IFB Y26-1019 for five-year rigging-equipment rental at the Convention Center (due September 3, 2026, with Service Disabled Veteran enterprise preference of 3–8%) and the City of Detroit's RFQ 549183 for hoists, parts, and services over two years (quotes due August 27, 2026, with up to 12 percent equalization credit for Detroit-certified businesses) demonstrate ongoing municipal demand across equipment purchase, rental, maintenance, and repair service categories.
