NIGP 12024: Boats, Pedal and Pontoon

NIGP 12024 Boats, Pedal and Pontoon, Item code, encompasses recreational and operational watercraft that state and local governments procure for marine patrol, law enforcement, and public recreation uses. Recent solicitations show county law enforcement agencies and park departments buying complete marine patrol boat packages with motors and trailers, pedal-powered watercraft for public marina rentals, and outboard motors for existing patrol vessels. Issuing bodies span county sheriff departments and parks-and-recreation divisions, plus state cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Jackson County, Missouri and Chatham County, Georgia appear as active recent buyers, with Galveston County, Texas and Sourcewell rounding out the regional mix.
