NIGP 12075: Propellers (for Inboard and Outboard Motors)

NIGP 12075 Propellers (For Inboard And Outboard Motors), an Item code, covers marine engines and integrated boat propulsion equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement marine operations, harbor patrol, and specialized watercraft. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring outboard motors (Yamaha 200 HP engines), inboard marine engines (Ilmor 6.2L GDI engines with 430 HP), and integrated systems including glass cockpit displays and custom electronics. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for boat equipment and outboard engines to support its Harbor Patrol operations. Counties and special-purpose districts dominate this code's activity, with cooperative purchasing frameworks such as Sourcewell also establishing master agreements to make law enforcement equipment available across multiple jurisdictions. Pricing in recent solicitations has been firm fixed-price with no renewal options, and awards go to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Most jurisdictions offer five percent preference deductions for certified local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise vendors, with maximum allowable preferences capped at $100,000.

Recent activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner posted an IFB (IFB0603042204CF) due April 17, 2026, for two Yamaha 200 HP outboard engines with specific rotational specifications for its Corona del Mar Harbor Patrol facility, and a separate IFB (0603026802CF) due March 23, 2026, for two Ilmor 6.2L GDI marine engines and Veratron VMH 70 glass cockpit displays. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing service, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of multiple Washington and other states' counties and public entities (including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) due June 16, 2026, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada. All solicitations require electronic submission through proprietary portals and mandate standard insurance, bonding, and compliance certifications including D-U-N-S and UEI numbers.
