NIGP 65004: Amusement Park Ride Equipment, Accessories and Parts

NIGP 65004 Amusement Park Ride Equipment, Accessories and Parts is an Item code under which state and local governments procure design, installation, operation, and maintenance services for seasonal entertainment attractions, ice skating facilities, and recreational equipment — work that extends well beyond ride equipment alone into broader recreation and entertainment venue development. Recent solicitations show scope diverging sharply from the code's title: the City of Conyers is soliciting proposals to design, install, operate, and maintain a seasonal Winter Wonderland and Ice Skating Experience at Celebration Park through January 2027, while the City of Daytona Beach is recruiting a consultant to attract amusement park and entertainment venue developers to beachfront properties. Chatham County Parks and Recreation Department is seeking design, provision, and installation of modular composite playground equipment at Charles C. Brooks Park Complex. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal recreation departments and city parks authorities in Georgia and Florida, alongside county parks systems. These opportunities signal procurement activity focused on seasonal and permanent recreational installations rather than individual ride mechanics or components.

The recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with the most substantial opportunities coming from Conyers and Chatham County (Georgia) and Daytona Beach (Florida). The City of Conyers' Winter Wonderland RFP, due July 2, 2026, offers four financial structures including revenue share and minimum guarantee options with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for non-operation; the contract covers one season (mid-November 2026 through late January 2027) with renewal options through three additional years. Chatham County's playground equipment RFP 26-0049-2, due June 12, 2026, includes explicit MBE and WBE participation scoring (15 points of 100) and requires ASTM F1487 and CPSC compliance with a liquidated damages clause of $200 per calendar day. The City of Daytona Beach's consultant RFP 2654RFP, due October 27, 2026, weights fee structure at 25 percent of evaluation and requires five years of active operation experience prior to proposal submission. These solicitations indicate that state and local buyers under this code are contracting for professional services, design-build installation, and seasonal venue operations rather than procurement of equipment components alone.
