NIGP 68094: Tire Markers and Supplies

NIGP 68094 Tire Markers And Supplies is an Item code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not appear to reflect the actual scope of work being procured under this code in the current market. The two most recent opportunities posted under this NIGP number involve law enforcement protective equipment and firearms transactions — neither of which align with tire markers or tire-related supplies. The Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department issued RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, soliciting trade or credit transactions for 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in exchange for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories (response deadline October 14, 2026), while the City of Charlotte posted a solicitation on May 29, 2026, for NIJ-compliant body armor supply, sizing, and fitting services for sworn law enforcement personnel (response deadline July 29, 2026). Both solicitations target police departments and law enforcement agencies as primary customers.

The geographic spread evident in recent activity centers on North Carolina and Georgia, with the Charlotte and Columbus postings representing the only two opportunities captured in the current dataset under this code. Police departments and municipal law enforcement agencies appear as the sole issuing bodies in the sample, though the Charlotte solicitation explicitly extends to participating agencies within Mecklenburg County, suggesting a cooperative purchasing vehicle. The misalignment between the NIGP code descriptor and the actual procurements posted suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local system or a dormant commodity line that has been repurposed for law enforcement procurement administration.
