NIGP 86315: Tires and Tubes, Off-Road Equipment

NIGP 86315 Tires and Tubes, Off-Road Equipment is an Item code representing the narrow procurement of replacement tires and associated tubes for off-road, agricultural, industrial, and specialty equipment — distinct from standard on-highway fleet tires. State and local governments buy under this code to supply tires for heavy construction equipment, specialized departmental vehicles, agricultural implements, and fleet vehicles operating in non-standard conditions. The issuing-body mix spans county departments (Jackson County, Missouri; Pinal County, Arizona; Collier County, Florida), city public works and fleet divisions (City of Atlanta; City of Milpitas, California; City of Altamonte Springs, Florida), solid waste authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Florida), and school districts (School Board of Sarasota County, Florida). Collier County appears twice in recent postings, signaling sustained demand from larger jurisdictions managing mixed fleets. Scope of work centers on supply and delivery of specialty tire products — retread tires, agricultural and off-road treads, heavy-duty truck tires — paired with mounting, balancing, patching, valve stem replacement, tire disposal, and emergency roadside repair services. Many solicitations bundle tire supply with on-site or mobile field-repair capability.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and the Southwest, with activity also in California, Missouri, and Georgia. Collier County issued ITB 25-8357 for tires and tire services across a mixed fleet of approximately 1,610 vehicles (automobiles through heavy construction equipment and off-road vehicles) with a three-year term plus two optional one-year renewals, due March 17, 2026, with historical spending at approximately $400,000 annually on tire products and approximately $23,000 on services; the procurement included a Local Vendor Preference set-aside and Federal Transit Administration grant compliance requirements. Jackson County, Missouri posted ITB 26046 for off-road, agricultural, industrial, and specialty tires and associated maintenance and repair services with a twenty-four-month term plus one twelve-month option, due August 18, 2026. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 for blanket purchase orders across five MRO supply categories including fleet tires and automotive parts, with a five-year term, due August 4, 2026, and subject to California prevailing wage requirements and local purchasing preference. Smaller jurisdictions solicit tire-specific contracts; the School Board of Sarasota County requested quotations for roadside tire repair assistance with S/MBE preference indicated. Cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and other jurisdictions also appears in the recent pipeline.
