NIGP 86307: Tires and Tubes, Light Trucks

NIGP 86307 Tires And Tubes, Light Trucks is an Item code capturing state and local procurement of replacement tires for fleet vehicles, together with tire repair, maintenance, and disposal services. Government buyers under this code acquire new tires across multiple vehicle classes, retread and retreading services, on-site and field tire repair, tire mounting and balancing, and scrap tire collection and environmentally compliant disposal. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose cooperatives buying light-truck tires alongside heavy-duty bus and medium-truck tires as part of broader fleet maintenance contracts. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 in July 2026 for blanket purchase orders across five MRO supply categories including fleet tires and automotive parts, with bids due August 4, 2026. Collier County issued ITB 25-8357 for tires and tire services supporting approximately 1,610 county vehicles, including light-duty and heavy-duty trucks, with historical annual spending around $400,000 on tire products and services. The scope regularly expands to encompass tire disposal compliance with local and federal environmental rules, emergency and after-hours service availability, and multiple-brand tire sourcing with varying tread types.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with standout recent opportunities in Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, Missouri, and Arizona. Collier County, Florida (March 2026), Pasco County, Florida (waste tire management, May 2026), the City of Atlanta (April 2026), the City of Valdosta, Georgia (retread tires, March 2026), Northside Independent School District in Texas (school bus and light truck tires, January 2026), Pinal County, Arizona (retread tires, April 2026), Jackson County, Missouri (off-road and specialty tires, July 2026), and the City of Milpitas, California (fleet tires within broader MRO, July 2026) represent recent issuers. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626, May 2026) sought law enforcement equipment through a multistate vehicle, affecting Washington, and potentially other jurisdictions. Contract terms typically range from one to five years with optional renewal periods. Prevailing wage and local preference provisions appear frequently in California and Florida; federal compliance including DBE requirements and Buy America rules apply to FTA-funded purchases. Many solicitations require bidder authorization as dealers for established tire manufacturers such as Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Continental, and mandate comprehensive insurance, performance bonds, and compliance with E-Verify and debarment attestations.
