NIGP 12076: Rigging and Rigging Gear for Ships

NIGP 12076 Rigging and Rigging Gear for Ships, an Item code, covers equipment and materials that state and local governments procure for marine operations, vessel maintenance, and law enforcement marine patrol activities. The recent opportunities under this code reflect demand for specialized marine equipment including outboard motors for patrol vessels and broader law enforcement equipment frameworks that encompass marine-related supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county governments and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities; Chatham County, Georgia and Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative serving participating entities across Washington state and beyond) represent the current buyer mix.

Chatham County, Georgia posted a competitive bid (IFB) in March 2026 to purchase two new Mercury outboard motors for its Marine Patrol operations, with responses due May 4, 2026, demonstrating direct county procurement of specialized marine equipment. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, establishes a broader contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada, with participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima in Washington state. The geographic spread spans the Southeast (Georgia) and Pacific Northwest (Washington), with the cooperative procurement framework extending national reach through Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional model.
