NIGP 07581: Tire Changing Equipment

NIGP 07581 Tire Changing Equipment, an Item code, encompasses on-road and off-road tire sales, installation, removal, and repair services that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for fleet operations. Recent solicitations show procurement bodies buying comprehensive tire services including new tire sales and installation at designated facilities or job sites, removal and disposal of worn or damaged tires, foam-filling services when required, retreading with full documentation, emergency field repair availability outside normal business hours, and credit for casings suitable for retreading. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Orlando Utilities Commission), city governments (City of Atlanta), and county departments (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue through the Board of County Commissioners). Vendors must typically maintain established local offices near customer facilities, hold minimum industry experience of 10 years or equivalent, carry appropriate licensing and insurance (Worker's Compensation, General Liability, Automotive), and comply with drug-free workplace policies and controlled-substance testing requirements for safety-sensitive positions.

Activity under this code spans Florida and Georgia, with recent high-visibility opportunities posted in spring and fall 2026. The City of Atlanta issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB/GS/DPW/2601-1260107) for tires, tire disposal, and tire repair services due May 8, 2026, requiring vendors to supply multiple tire brands and tread types, perform on-site and field repairs, provide environmentally compliant scrap disposal, and maintain emergency availability including weekends and select holidays. The Orlando Utilities Commission posted a Request for Proposal (PR9446) for tire sales, installation, removal, and specialty tire services due September 16, 2026, covering four OUC facility locations with a three-year contract term plus two optional one-year renewals at the customer's election, requiring firm pricing throughout the contract period and pre-qualification within a 50-mile radius of the primary Reliable Plaza location. Hillsborough County's July 2026 janitorial and operational supplies bid (ITB2600319) suggests adjacent procurement activity in Florida, though that solicitation does not cover tire services specifically.
