NIGP 12088: Tools, Marine Hull and Engine

NIGP 12088 Tools, Marine Hull and Engine, an Item code, encompasses marine equipment and vessel servicing supplies that state and local governments procure for waterfront operations, marine patrol, and recreational boating infrastructure. Recent solicitations show county governments and special districts purchasing replacement marine engines, marina and boat-ramp repair and redevelopment services, and associated marine equipment to support law enforcement and public waterway operations. The work spans both direct equipment procurement — typically competitive bids for new engines and motors with specific brand or model requirements — and capital-improvement services requiring qualified contractors licensed in marine construction and repair work.

County governments and cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the recent activity. Chatham County, Georgia issued a competitive bid in March 2026 for two new Mercury outboard motors designated for Marine Patrol operations, due May 4, 2026. Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida released an RFB in June 2026 for repairs, redevelopment, and improvements at Knights Marina Boat Ramp and Lake Shore Boat Ramp, due July 6, 2026, requiring qualified and licensed contractors with performance and payment bonds. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment available to participating entities across multiple states and Canada, with response due June 16, 2026. Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest through cooperative purchasing arrangements, with procurement focused on capital replacement and infrastructure improvement rather than consumables or routine maintenance supplies.
