NIGP 76560: Snow Plows, Motorized

NIGP 76560 Snow Plows, Motorized is an Item code covering motorized snow removal equipment that state and local governments procure for fleet integration and emergency response operations. Recent solicitations show direct purchases of snowplow units and related equipment, as well as upfit services pairing dump bodies, hydraulic systems, and snow removal attachments on existing chassis. The City of Little Rock Fleet Services Department and the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District are the primary issuing bodies in the current opportunity set, both seeking equipment for integration with operational fleet assets. Scope of work ranges from standalone snowplow procurement to full-service equipment upfit including hydraulic systems, lighting, tarp installations, and salt-spreader provisions; all recent solicitations specify performance requirements such as engine horsepower minimums, emissions compliance (EPA Tier 4 final or equivalent), bucket capacity, plow dimensions, and warranty terms.

Activity under this code concentrates in California and Arkansas, with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District issuing two separate ITBs for snow loader procurement in April and May 2026 (solicitation numbers FPD126-FIREA-6383 due April 29, 2026, and FPD126FIREA6403 due June 1, 2026, both seeking single units with 188-horsepower engines and 36-month/3,000-hour warranties), and the City of Little Rock conducting two parallel procurements: an ITB for upfit of two International chassis trucks with dump bodies and snow hydraulics (ITB 236945, due June 11, 2026) and a separate solicitation for snowplows and related equipment (solicitation 239971, due July 2, 2026). San Bernardino County applies a 5 percent local vendor preference during cost evaluation. The City of Little Rock requires vendors to carry $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability insurance, meet Arkansas licensing requirements, and certify compliance with boycott restrictions; joint ventures are permitted with notarized affidavits and joint venture agreements. None of the recent opportunities specify contract values or budget ranges.
