NIGP 12018: Boat Components (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 12018 Boat Components (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, captures state and local procurement of marine vessels and specialized watercraft components purchased as complete units or subsystems. Recent opportunities under this code show county and regional public safety agencies buying fully equipped marine patrol and safety work boats, including multi-thousand-dollar marine equipment packages. Issuing bodies span county sheriff's offices and marine patrol divisions, with purchases typically representing one-time acquisitions rather than recurring orders. Counties and cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state jurisdictions) dominate the recent activity, with purchases ranging from single marine safety work boats to competitive cooperative agreements that extend availability to thousands of participating government entities.

Chatham County, Georgia issued the most detailed specification on record, procuring a 27-foot-4-inch center console aluminum patrol response vessel funded through the 2025 DHS/FEMA Port Security Grant Program with a 30% M/WBE participation goal and strict Build America, Buy America compliance; bids closed August 10, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida solicited one marine safety work boat via ITB with a $400,000 estimate and September 24, 2026 response deadline. Marion County, Oregon awarded frame fabrication for a Stryker Jetboat to Marine 1, LLC through a competitive quotes process in April 2026. Sourcewell issued a cooperative RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 proposal deadline, designed to establish a multi-jurisdiction contracting solution available to counties across Washington and participating entities nationwide. Recent activity concentrates in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon) and Southeast (Florida, Georgia), with federal grant funding and local capital budgets driving procurement timing.
