NIGP 56063: Trucks, Dolly

NIGP 56063 Trucks, Dolly (Item) encompasses hand trucks and material-handling dollies that state and local governments procure for operational use across departments, schools, and facilities. Recent activity shows two distinct purchasing patterns: tactical purchases of small quantities of specific models for targeted operational needs, and broader custodial-equipment contracts that include hand trucks as line items within larger supply agreements. Issuing bodies include county elections and voter-registration divisions, school districts, and county-level educational agencies. The work involves supplying standardized hand-truck models (such as Cosco 2-in-1 convertible models) or equivalent products, often with delivery to specific District or County locations, firm-fixed unit pricing, and product-specification requirements for equivalent substitutions.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida. Gwinnett County, Georgia's Voter Registrations and Elections Division issued an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 125617) in March 2026 for 175 Cosco 2-in-1 Hand Trucks, due March 17, 2026, with FOB Destination delivery by April 27, 2026 to Lawrenceville, Georgia. Northside Independent School District (fourth-largest in Texas, serving 132 schools across Bexar County) released RFP 2026-049 in March 2026 for an as-needed custodial-equipment contract valid through March 2029 with annual renewals, due March 26, 2026, with hand trucks among the line items evaluated on firm-fixed pricing (30% weight), quality (15%), and total long-term cost (10%). Pinellas County School District in Florida issued ITB 25-JG-072 for custodial supplies (estimated annual value approximately $900,000) with contract term February 25, 2026, through February 24, 2027, including hand-truck line items. School districts dominate the code as repeat buyers pursuing multi-year or renewal arrangements; notice types span IWQ, RFP, and ITB formats.
