NIGP 56061: Moving Devices, Equipment

NIGP 56061 Moving Devices, Equipment is an Item code encompassing the vehicles, dollies, hand trucks, and specialized material-handling platforms that state and local governments procure to move office furniture, election equipment, disaster supplies, and other institutional assets. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring compact transport equipment (file cabinet movers, desk dollies, hand trucks, platform trucks) and larger moving infrastructure (electric forklifts, reach trucks, pallet jacks) alongside full-service moving logistics that bundle labor, vehicles, and equipment into integrated relocation operations. The issuing bodies span county governments (Sarasota County, Sacramento County, Alameda County, Los Angeles County), cities (Fort Worth, Salem, Detroit), state agencies (California Department of Rehabilitation, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission, Illinois Department of Transportation), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District), and independent courts. Equipment-only solicitations tend to appear as IFBs with firm specifications and warranty terms, while moving-services contracts appear as RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs emphasizing labor capacity, modular-furniture expertise, and insurance. Prevailing wage requirements apply in California and Oregon; local and small-business preferences appear frequently in city and county RFPs but are waived when federal disaster or grant funding is involved.

Recent activity clusters in California, Florida, Texas, and Oregon, with California dominating through multiple Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and Rehabilitation regional office solicitations and court system procurements.
