NIGP 56060: Trucks, Barrel, Cylinder, and Drum

NIGP 56060 Trucks, Barrel, Cylinder, and Drum is an Item code under which state and local governments procure wheeled material-handling equipment, carts, and dollies for custodial, facilities, and general warehouse operations. The scope includes hand trucks, platform trucks, file cabinet movers, desk dollies, floor machines, and cart-mounted lift attachments, typically specified with manufacturer and model numbers and solicited alongside complementary cleaning equipment such as wet-dry vacuums, auto scrubbers, and carpet extractors. Issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county public education agencies; the recent opportunity block shows activity from Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida.

Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26131-MST on September 21, 2026, with a response due date of June 17, 2026, seeking bids on custodial equipment across 18 line items including hand trucks, platform trucks, file cabinet movers, and desk dollies, along with 400 upright vacuums and 3 computer/utility table lift attachments. Bidders must submit responses in the prescribed spreadsheet format and acknowledge Addendum 26131ITBMST (issued May 28, 2026); failure to acknowledge results in bid rejection. Vendors declining to bid must file a Statement of No Bid form to avoid removal from the district's qualified bidder list. The solicitation permits proposals of equivalent brands where marked "or equal" and accepts cost-plus-markup bids not to exceed 15 percent on items not specifically listed. Mandatory compliance certifications include affidavits regarding contracting with entities of foreign countries of concern and use of coercion for labor and services. No contract value or term is stated in the source materials.
