NIGP 86310: Tires and Tubes, Medium Truck and Bus

NIGP 86310 Tires and Tubes, Medium Truck and Bus is an Item code covering tire supply, repair, and related maintenance services that state and local governments procure for fleet operations across transit systems, municipal departments, school districts, and county agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring new tires across multiple brands, retread and retreated tire services, on-site and roadside tire repair, mounting and balancing, tire disposal, and mileage-based tire leasing arrangements for heavy-duty vehicles including transit buses, refuse trucks, and municipal fleets. Issuing bodies span city procurement offices (Pittsburgh, Austin, Atlanta, Altamonte Springs), county governments (Jackson County Missouri, Collier County Florida, Madison County Illinois, Pinal County Arizona), transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Columbus METRA), school districts (Sarasota County, Donna ISD, Los Fresnos ISD), and specialized state agencies (California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority). Cities and counties appear most frequently as repeat purchasers under this code, with school districts and transit systems also active.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Pittsburgh's IFB for tire purchases with a catalog discount model across major brands (Michelin, Goodyear, Firestone, others) and an 18 percent DBE goal, due July 2, 2026; Jackson County Missouri's 24-month supply and services contract for off-road, agricultural, and industrial tires with a 12-month extension option, due August 18, 2026; the City of Austin's IFB 7800 MLJ1043 for vehicle tire repair and replacement services supporting 13 OEM tire brands with 24-hour dispatch requirements and an estimated annual spend of $275,000, due April 23, 2026; Madison County Mass Transit District's tire leasing procurement for 42 and 28 Gillig buses on a mileage-based, all-inclusive lease for a three-year term with optional one-year renewals, due March 17, 2026; and Collier County Florida's ITB 25-8357 for tire products and services across all vehicle classes with approximately $400,000 in historical annual tire spending and a three-year term, due March 17, 2026. Contract terms typically run two to five years with optional renewals; local vendor preferences and DBE participation goals appear in multiple solicitations, particularly those with federal FTA funding. Prevailing wage and recycled-content standards apply in several jurisdictions.
