NIGP 07581: Tire Changing Equipment

NIGP 07581 Tire Changing Equipment, an Item code, covers tires, tire repair services, and tire disposal for state and local vehicle fleets, based on recent solicitations across transit authorities, city governments, and county purchasing offices. State and local governments procure tires of all sizes for diverse vehicle classes—from transit buses to light trucks and staff vehicles—along with related services including on-site and field tire repair, retreading with inspection documentation, tire disposal compliant with local and federal environmental regulations, and emergency service availability outside normal business hours. The issuing bodies span city departments of public works, county boards of commissioners, transit authorities, and school district transportation divisions, with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent opportunity stream.
