NIGP 80534: Bicycles and Tricycles, All Types (Children's, Mountain, Racing, Recumbent, Tandem, Touring, etc. - See 805-05 for Stationary Bikes and 805-57 for Exercise Bikes)

NIGP 80534 Bicycles and Tricycles, All Types (Item) encompasses electric and conventional bicycles and tricycles that state and local governments procure for public transit initiatives, community mobility programs, law-enforcement operations, and educational access. Recent solicitations show purchases ranging from bulk fleet procurements of 250 electric class I bikes for student and senior distribution to maintenance and repair services for existing municipal eBike fleets, law-enforcement patrol bicycles engineered for tactical operations, and bike-share program support. Issuing bodies span city transportation divisions, regional transit authorities, metropolitan police departments, municipal corporations, special-purpose districts, and school systems. The code sees activity from mid-size and large municipalities and specialized transit agencies, with repeat activity from California, Illinois, Georgia, Utah, and the District of Columbia.

Recent opportunities include the City of Hayward Transportation Division requesting approximately 250 electric class I bicycles (RFQ, due October 27, 2026) under a California Air Resources Board grant targeting middle and high school students, college students, persons with disabilities, families, and senior residents; Salt Lake City Corporation's five-year contract for eBike maintenance, repair, battery replacement, and accessory supply across city departments (RFB, due July 30, 2026); the Atlanta Regional Commission seeking local e-bike retailers as point-of-sale rebate partners in the City of Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program targeting 600–800 purchases with a $960,000 budget (local-vendor-only, due July 23, 2026); the Illinois State Police Division of Patrol's sole-source $212,000 procurement of law-enforcement-grade patrol bicycles with mechanics training from Volcanic Partners LLC (due June 4, 2026); and Takoma Park, Maryland requesting quotes for kindergarten-level bike fleets and training for Montgomery County's Safe Routes to School Program (RFQ, due July 15, 2026). Evaluation criteria across solicitations emphasize vendor capacity and delivery timelines, NRTL battery certification compliance, insurance and licensing requirements, prevailing-wage compliance where applicable, and experience references. Set-asides and local-vendor preferences appear in municipal opportunities; federal CMAQ grant funding introduces compliance obligations.
