NIGP 76587: Tractors, Wheel Type (Except Farm Tractors) (Including Walk-Behind Type)

NIGP 76587 Tractors, Wheel Type (Except Farm Tractors) (Including Walk-Behind Type), an Item code, covers the procurement of wheeled tractors and similar power equipment for public works, maintenance, and law enforcement operations. State and local governments buy tractors under this code primarily for grounds maintenance, road construction and rehabilitation, equipment transport, and general fleet operations; recent solicitations show purchases of cab tractors equipped for public works use, including models specified with emissions-compliant diesel engines, enclosed cabs, 3-point hitches, and PTO capabilities. Issuing bodies span county boards of supervisors, county transportation departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles; Butts County in Georgia and Neshoba County in Mississippi have both recently solicited individual tractor purchases, while Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity) has issued a broad law enforcement equipment contract encompassing potential tractor procurement across thousands of participating governmental agencies and public entities.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Northern plains, with recent opportunities posted in Georgia, Mississippi, Minnesota (via cooperative vehicle), and California. Representative recent opportunities include Butts County's ITB #26-18 for one John Deere 5090E Cab Tractor (response deadline May 8, 2026), specifying a new model with 90 HP minimum diesel engine, enclosed cab, and industrial-agricultural tires suitable for public works use, with evaluation criteria including experience and qualifications (25%), compliance (20%), cost (20%), timeline and warranty (20%), references (10%), and responsiveness (5%); and Neshoba County Board of Supervisors' sealed-bid procurement for one or more new 2026 Kubota M6-131 tractors (response deadline March 2, 2026). Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (response deadline June 16, 2026) establishes a multi-jurisdictional contracting framework available to thousands of public sector entities across the United States and Canada, indicating demand for tractor equipment within broader law enforcement and public works equipment portfolios.
