NIGP 12077: Rocket Charges and Cannons, Wildlife Trapping

NIGP 12077 Rocket Charges and Cannons, Wildlife Trapping is an Item code that covers law enforcement and public safety equipment procurement, including specialized equipment for marine patrol and wildlife management operations. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing tactical and operational equipment for law enforcement agencies, wildlife management programs, and marine patrol divisions. The issuing bodies span state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and specialized law enforcement and natural resource agencies. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is actively soliciting law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating counties and public entities across Washington state and throughout the United States and Canada, establishing a broad-based contracting framework to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. County purchasing offices, such as Chatham County, Georgia, independently procure specialized equipment like marine patrol motors for operational use.

Recent activity shows geographic diversity across the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, explicitly names Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state as participating entities while extending opportunity nationwide through cooperative membership. Chatham County, Georgia's IFB 26-0038-4 for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for Marine Patrol, posted March 24, 2026 with a May 4, 2026 bid deadline, represents a typical county-level procurement for specialized operational equipment. The Sourcewell cooperative vehicle structures recurring purchasing relationships across participating jurisdictions, while county-level solicitations tend toward equipment-specific, single-award procurements with direct vendor submission requirements.
