NIGP 76558: Snow Blowers, Vehicle or Equipment Mounted

NIGP 76558 Snow Blowers, Vehicle Or Equipment Mounted (Item) covers the procurement of vehicle-mounted snow removal and ice control equipment installed on trucks and heavy equipment, including dump bodies with hydraulics, quick hitches, underbody scrapers, and integrated snow-blower and de-icing systems for winter weather operations on roadways and airfields. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily counties and municipal airports executing seasonal and multi-year winter maintenance contracts. Portage County, Wisconsin, issued an ITB on July 7, 2026 (due July 28, 2026) for snow and ice equipment installation on two Western Star patrol trucks, including dump bodies, hydraulic systems, Force control components, and tailgate sanders with warranty terms spanning two to five years and a contract period running through December 31, 2031 with renewal options. The City of Atlanta's Department of Aviation issued a pre-advertisement notice on April 21, 2026 (prequalification deadline May 21, 2026) for Multi-Tasking Equipment units and related maintenance and training services at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with an initial order of three units and a plan for three additional vehicles annually over six years, encompassing snow plow attachments, high-capacity snow blowers, runway de-icing systems, and a mandatory ten-year extended warranty.

Recent activity concentrates in Wisconsin and Georgia, with secondary municipal and county transportation operations visible across multiple states. Portage County represents the more routine county highway department purchasing model—equipment specification, installation, and seasonal operation under fixed contract terms. The Atlanta airport procurement demonstrates the higher-specification, longer-commitment model typical of major transportation hubs requiring FAA and SAE compliance, multi-year spare-parts support, and on-site technician staffing during winter events. Both solicitations require original manufacturers or authorized distributors with demonstrated experience in snow and ice equipment and impose strict warranty and performance standards. Neither opportunity discloses set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information in available documentation.
