NIGP 80535: Bicycle Accessories Including Tires and Tubes

NIGP 80535 Bicycle Accessories Including Tires and Tubes is an Item code representing components and parts that state and local governments procure for bicycle fleets, law enforcement equipment programs, and transportation assets. Recent activity shows this code appearing within broader law enforcement equipment solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity buy, indicating that bicycle accessories are bundled with other protective and operational gear when jurisdictions modernize their fleets. The issuing-body mix reflects cooperative purchasing frameworks — Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions to establish master contracts that participating entities can draw from. Participating counties named in the current solicitation include Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, along with numerous other public sector entities nationwide. This structure allows a single RFP to serve governmental agencies, school districts, higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public bodies across multiple states and Canada.

Geographic spread centers on Washington state and Minnesota, with the current cooperative procurement designed to serve participating entities throughout the United States and Canada.
