NIGP 31833: Fare Box Vault

NIGP 31833 Fare Box Vault, an Item code, represents physical enclosures and containment systems that state and local governments procure for transit revenue collection infrastructure — specifically the secure, sealed compartments that protect fare collection boxes and cash from tampering, weather, and theft. State and local transit agencies, county transportation departments, and facility management operations solicit vault components under this code to maintain and replace aging or damaged fare-collection hardware across their systems.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies concentrated in California counties managing transit and facilities infrastructure. Riverside County issued RFB-WM-3959 for aluminum vault lids with bids due August 21, 2026. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management issued ITB 6391 for parts and supplies with a June 19, 2026 proposal deadline, encompassing over 500 line items across facility maintenance categories including refrigerants, HVAC components, electrical supplies, plumbing materials, and tools — a broader maintenance procurement that may include fare-box-related hardware within its scope. San Bernardino County applies a local vendor preference of 5 percent for vendors whose principal place of business is within San Bernardino County boundaries, with award based on best value including consideration of 30-day or greater discounts. Delivery windows are tight — San Bernardino County requires delivery within 14 days of purchase order receipt during business hours Monday through Friday, with payment on Net 60 terms after material acceptance.
