NIGP 34006: Brackets, Clamps and Holders for Fire Fighting Equipment

NIGP 34006 Brackets, Clamps And Holders For Fire Fighting Equipment, an Item code, covers mounting hardware and retention systems for firefighting apparatus and equipment—but recent state and local procurement activity reveals that this code functions as a component-level tag within much larger fire apparatus, protective clothing, and integrated equipment solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity category. State and local governments are soliciting brackets, clamps, and holders primarily as line items embedded in fire truck parts contracts, SCBA maintenance agreements, and firefighting tool procurement packages where mounting systems anchor pumps, valves, hoses, gauges, and breathing apparatus to apparatus frames and operational stations. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments (San Bernardino County Fleet Management), county boards of commissioners (Thomas County, Georgia), county fire authorities (Fulton County, Georgia), city fire departments (Santa Monica, Columbus), consolidated city-county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government), and school districts with fire-system upgrade programs (Stephens County Board of Education). The code sees activity across multiple states with recent solicitations concentrated in Georgia and California, though fire apparatus and equipment procurement extends nationally.

Representative recent opportunities include San Bernardino County Fleet Management's ITB for fire truck parts (bid due September 17, 2026) specifying mounting brackets and hardware as components within a larger field-service repair kit for Akron, Hale, Class 1, and other fire apparatus manufacturers under a three-year requirements contract with 24–48 hour delivery; Fulton County, Georgia's IFB for fire and rescue tools and equipment (bid due July 28, 2026) spanning six groups of powered equipment, forcible entry tools, and hose accessories where brackets anchor firefighting monitors and hose systems; Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB for protective fire clothing and accessories (bid due October 14, 2026) establishing Primary and Secondary annual contracts for structural firefighting gear where suspenders and fastening systems function as mounting hardware; and San Bernardino County's local-vendor preference policy (5% allowance for in-county businesses) applies to fire truck parts procurement generally. Activity under this code typically flows through requirements contracts or annual term agreements with fixed initial pricing, 24–48 hour delivery cycles for field service components, and compliance with NFPA, OSHA, and NIOSH standards.
