NIGP 57830: Disaster Survival Equipment, Kits, and Supplies

NIGP 57830 Disaster Survival Equipment, Kits, and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure emergency preparedness and relief supplies for use by transit authorities, county emergency management operations, and public works departments. The Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ for disaster supplies ($45,000 over three years, effective December 1, 2026) exemplifies the core buying pattern: jurisdictions acquire pre-positioned inventory to support operational continuity and public safety during emergencies, with vendors required to meet delivery timelines, warranty standards, and compliance with federal and state emergency preparedness protocols. Issuing bodies under this code include regional transit authorities and county governments; school districts and municipalities also participate in disaster-supply procurement, though recent opportunities in this dataset name primarily transportation and county authorities.

Geographic activity centers in the Southeast and Southwest. The Orange County Transportation Authority in California and DeSoto County, Mississippi both posted opportunities within the recent window, while a Minnesota-based cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (RFP 061626) extends reach across participating counties in Washington state and public entities nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ 260574 (posted October 9, 2026, due same day) for a three-year disaster-supplies contract with a $45,000 ceiling, and a DeSoto County, Mississippi solicitation (posted July 9, 2026, due July 15, 2026) for unspecified disaster-related goods through a pre-bid process on July 8, 2026. The activity level under this code remains modest; few jurisdictions issue formal solicitations for disaster supplies outside of regional cooperative agreements or emergency-response cycles.
