NIGP 12059: Motor Conversion Unit (Outboard Propeller to Jet Water Drive)

NIGP 12059 Motor Conversion Unit (Outboard Propeller To Jet Water Drive), an Item code, describes specialized marine propulsion retrofit equipment that state and local governments procure as part of law enforcement and public-safety vessel operations. The scope covers mechanical conversion units that transform outboard propeller-driven watercraft into jet water drive systems, typically for police, sheriff, transit, or emergency-response boat fleets. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, municipal law enforcement agencies, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The work involves supply, installation support, or turnkey conversion services for small to mid-sized government watercraft operating in coastal, inland, and Great Lakes environments.

Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (response deadline June 16, 2026) to establish a cooperative contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation, advertised under Washington state law and encompassing participation from Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County, seeks vendors to supply law enforcement equipment solutions through a participating addendum structure. Proposals were due exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; questions were directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No specific award values, set-asides, or incumbent vendor information was identified in the available documentation. This cooperative purchasing vehicle represents the primary recent activity signal under the code, suggesting demand concentrated in the Pacific Northwest region and through multi-state cooperative frameworks rather than isolated jurisdictional buys.
