NIGP 45089: Wheelbarrows

NIGP 45089 Wheelbarrows is an Item code under which state and local governments procure wheelbarrows and related wheeled hand-transport equipment for grounds maintenance, construction, landscaping, and public-works operations. The single recent opportunity in the source—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—does not specifically name wheelbarrows as a line item, but instead establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment broadly, suggesting wheelbarrows may be bundled within a larger equipment procurement framework rather than solicited as a standalone commodity. The issuing body is Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative acting on behalf of its Participating Entities, which include Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other public entities across the United States and Canada.

The geographic scope spans Washington state and beyond, with Sourcewell's cooperative structure extending availability to thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities nationwide and in Canada. The RFP is advertised under Washington state law (RCW 39.34) and requires proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Vendors should direct questions to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The solicitation does not identify specific award values, set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or technology integration requirements in available documentation.
