NIGP 12065: Nets and Repair Supplies, Marine

NIGP 12065 Nets and Repair Supplies, Marine is an Item code covering marine equipment and supplies purchased by state and local governments. Based on recent solicitations, state and local procurement under this code reflects a narrow but concrete scope: marine patrol equipment and law enforcement apparatus for water operations. Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for Marine Patrol operations, while Sourcewell—a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle—issued an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, alongside jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. The issuing bodies mix county governments (Chatham County) with state-level cooperative purchasing structures that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest based on recent postings. Chatham County, Georgia posted its Mercury outboard motor procurement on March 24, 2026 with a bid due date of May 4, 2026; Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP was posted May 12, 2026 with proposals due June 16, 2026. The Sourcewell cooperative vehicle indicates broader regional reach across Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and multi-jurisdictional participation, while the Chatham County opportunity reflects direct county procurement. Neither solicitation disclosed specific budget ranges, set-asides, or incumbent vendors. Vendors pursuing marine equipment and repair supplies under this code should target county purchasing offices managing water operations and cooperative purchasing agreements that serve multiple public entities.
