NIGP 86307: Tires and Tubes, Light Trucks

NIGP 86307 Tires and Tubes, Light Trucks is an Item code covering the procurement of new tires, retreads, tubes, and associated tire repair and maintenance services for municipal and state vehicle fleets. State and local governments solicit under this code for on-demand tire supply and services to light-duty vehicle fleets, with specifications covering tire brands (Continental, Michelin, Bandag retreads), tire sizes and tread types, wheel maintenance, alignment and balancing, tire replacement, and hourly labor rates for in-yard and field service calls. Issuing bodies include state purchasing divisions, county transportation and fleet departments, municipal public works and administrative services divisions, and state health agencies managing institutional vehicle fleets. Georgia's Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Division, Fairfax County Virginia, the City of Atlanta, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and the City of Milpitas appear as repeat or significant recent buyers, each establishing statewide or citywide term contracts to consolidate fleet tire and repair services across multiple departments on an as-needed basis.
