NIGP 54556: Post Straighteners and Pullers, Hydraulic

NIGP 54556 Post Straighteners and Pullers, Hydraulic is an Item code encompassing hydraulic equipment used in law enforcement and specialized tactical applications. State and local governments procure this equipment primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. The recent solicitation activity shows that law enforcement agencies and multi-jurisdictional purchasing consortia use this code to source tactical and equipment-handling tools, including hydraulic post straighteners and pullers, as part of broader law enforcement equipment procurement frameworks. Issuing bodies under this code include state government units acting as service cooperatives (such as Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), county governments, and the networks of participating public entities they serve—ranging from municipal police departments to school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations that access cooperative purchasing contracts.

Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. This cooperative procurement is structured to establish a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies and public entities, with the resulting contract reserved for future utilization through participating addenda with Sourcewell. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no set-aside designations, award values, or budget ranges are identified in available documentation. The opportunity represents activity concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest through Sourcewell's service cooperative model, which leverages collective buying power across multiple jurisdictions to standardize procurement terms and expand vendor market reach.
