NIGP 12081: Reach Stackers and Straddle Carriers, Marine

NIGP 12081 Reach Stackers And Straddle Carriers, Marine is an Item code. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect a narrow and sporadic activity pattern focused on marine equipment acquisition rather than the specialized cargo-handling machinery the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices—county governments and cooperative purchasing consortia—have posted opportunities for marine patrol equipment, including outboard motors and law enforcement marine equipment, signaling that the code in practice captures marine vessel propulsion and related maritime operational gear rather than the port-side container-handling equipment the NIGP title suggests. The issuing-body mix includes county governments operating marine patrol functions and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

Chatham County, Georgia solicited competitive bids for two new Mercury outboard motors for Marine Patrol operations under IFB 26-0038-4, with a response deadline of May 4, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties and other public entities across the United States and Canada, with the resulting contract(s) reserved for future utilization through participating addenda. Recent activity centers in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, though the Sourcewell cooperative structure extends procurement availability nationwide and into Canada.
