NIGP 12085: Skis, Jet

NIGP 12085 Skis, Jet (Item) captures state and local procurement of personal watercraft, jet skis, and associated trailers for operational deployment by law enforcement marine units and county departments. The work solicited under this code ranges from single-unit replacements to small-fleet purchases of new, manufacturer-specified jet skis (typically Sea-Doo models) paired with corrosion-resistant, DMV-compliant trailers meeting minimum weight capacity and tow specifications. Issuing bodies include county sheriff's offices (particularly marine enforcement and patrol divisions), county general services and purchasing departments acting on behalf of operational end users, and cooperative purchasing vehicles aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Recent solicitations emphasize new equipment only, with equivalency standards tied to specific model years and performance specs, and compliance with federal grant-fund procurement standards (2 CFR Part 200) when funding is federal or state-derived. Small business participation is encouraged through outreach rather than mandated set-asides, and DVBE compliance statements are required in California jurisdictions.
