NIGP 14567: Snow Brushes

NIGP 14567 Snow Brushes, an Item code, covers replacement brush cores and complete snow removal hand tools that state and local governments procure for winter maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show governments buying snow broom cores (replacement brush heads for existing handles) and packaged snow brushes paired with ice scrapers for field and vehicle maintenance use. The City of Dallas and City of Philadelphia both posted opportunities in the past four months, indicating regular replenishment procurement across municipal jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include city governments operating public facilities and vehicle fleets; Dallas sourced cores for its Aviation/Field Maintenance facility, while Philadelphia conducted a micro purchase for general municipal operations.

Dallas issued an invitation for bid (IFB) on September 17, 2026, for snow broom cores with a September 29, 2026, response deadline, requiring new, unopened, factory-packaged products delivered FOB to its maintenance facility at 3387 Hawes Street, with bidders absorbing freight costs and no substitutes permitted. Philadelphia conducted a micro purchase RFQ on May 13, 2026, due May 20, closing a 365-day requirements contract for snow brushes and ice scrapers, with quotations capped below $43,000 and eligible vendors required to quote all line items; the City reserved the right to award the contract in whole or by individual line item based on lowest responsive and responsible bid. Both opportunities required electronic submission and carried standard municipal insurance, nondiscrimination, and compliance certifications. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania, with no set-asides applied in the Philadelphia micro purchase but voluntary LGBTQ business identification encouraged.
