NIGP 07587: Tow Bars, Chains, Ropes and Straps

NIGP 07587 Tow Bars, Chains, Ropes And Straps is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fastening and securing equipment for vehicle recovery, towing operations, and cargo containment — though recent solicitation activity under this code is minimal. The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida issued a one-year supply agreement (Bid #26-0124, due February 12, 2026) for automotive and light truck repair parts across 19 OEM manufacturers with firm percentage discounts off list price, which includes straps, chains, and related fastening components as part of a broader parts catalog. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to this code include school districts and county boards managing transportation fleets and vehicle maintenance operations.

Geographic activity is sparse in the recent-opportunities block. The Sarasota County Schools procurement in Florida and the Worth County Board of Commissioners RFP for a four-post lift in Georgia represent the only substantive recent state and local solicitations that touch equipment and parts in the vehicle-servicing category. No standout repeat buyers or concentrated geographic cluster emerges from the available records. The Sarasota County procurement model — establishing a standing supply agreement with firm discounts and F.O.B. Destination delivery to a central maintenance garage — is representative of how school districts and counties approach parts and fastening inventory, but the code itself shows limited recent visibility in state and local procurement channels.
