NIGP 12085: Skis, Jet

NIGP 12085 Skis, Jet is an Item code under which state and local governments procure personal watercraft, typically jet skis, and associated trailers for operational use by law enforcement, parks, and recreation departments. Recent solicitations show purchasing focused on new equipment acquisition — including brand-specific models such as Sea-Doo Explorer Pro 230 jet skis paired with tandem trailers — rather than consumables or repairs. Issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices (particularly marine enforcement details), county general services departments acting on behalf of operational units, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. The purchasing pattern reflects capital equipment replacement cycles, with single or small-batch acquisitions rather than standing inventory replenishment.

Geographic activity centers on California and Minnesota, with cooperative purchasing extending nationally through Sourcewell. Sacramento County's Department of General Services, Contracts and Purchasing Services Division issued RFB #2026-RFB-0048 on May 15, 2026, for two 2026 Sea-Doo Explorer Pro 230 jet skis and one tandem trailer on behalf of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office Marine Enforcement Detail, with bids due May 26, 2026, at a total budget not to exceed $47,000. Palm Beach County, Florida solicited watercraft and trailers on a one-time basis via RFQ #680260139RJW2 posted June 16, 2026, with responses due July 8, 2026, requiring SBE participation documentation under county Aspiration Percentage Initiative goals. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for a multi-jurisdiction Law Enforcement Equipment framework contract with responses due June 16, 2026, intended to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada through participating addenda.
