NIGP 76013: Cylinders, Hydraulic

NIGP 76013 Hydraulic Cylinders, an Item code, encompasses welded and fabricated hydraulic cylinders specified for municipal solid waste equipment, fleet maintenance, and infrastructure repair applications. State and local governments buy these cylinders primarily as replacement components for compactors, heavy vehicles, and on-site repair services, often bundled with repair kits and mobile service capability. The City of Tampa has issued two RFQs since May 2026 for HMW-series cylinders (4-inch bore, 30- to 36-inch stroke, with cross-tube mounts and 2-inch rods) for compactor applications, requiring FOB Destination pricing with sixty-day quote validity. The City of Atlanta solicited a Statement of Qualifications in March 2026 for a full-service vendor capable of supplying replacement hydraulic cylinders and components across all sizes, performing on-site repairs, and providing mobile repair services to support municipal fleet operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal solid waste departments, public works divisions, and transportation agencies. The code sees concentrated recent activity in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia, though the source does not support activity claims in other regions.

Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management department issued RFQ 26-P-00348 (due May 29, 2026) and an earlier RFQ 26-P-00302 (due May 13, 2026) for identical or near-identical cylinder specifications, signaling repeat procurement cycles for this equipment class. The Atlanta Statement of Qualifications (due April 7, 2026) expanded scope to include comprehensive hose and fitting supply alongside cylinders and repair services, indicating cities are consolidating hydraulic component sourcing under single vendor relationships. All three municipal solicitations specified electronic submission through portals (OpenGov for Tampa, Atlanta's Department of Procurement and Warehouse Services), required vendor insurance prior to award, mandated E-Verify compliance, and reserved the right to award by line item or aggregate. Quote validity periods of sixty days were standard. Response dates across recent opportunities clustered between April and May 2026, suggesting spring budget cycle procurement tied to summer equipment maintenance schedules.
