NIGP 97510: Airport Equipment and Accessories Rental or Lease

NIGP 97510 Airport Equipment and Accessories Rental or Lease is an Item code covering the rental and lease of heavy equipment, aerial lifts, and specialized machinery for municipal operations. State and local governments use this code to procure as-needed rental agreements and multi-year operating leases for construction equipment, earthmoving machinery, landfill-specific compactors, and fleet vehicles. Cities and counties solicit under this code when they need equipment on a flexible timeline without purchasing capital assets outright, often bundling rental with maintenance, delivery, telematics, and operator support. Cities dominate recent solicitation activity, though county departments and special-purpose waste management agencies also use this code for long-term operational leases with detailed performance requirements and availability guarantees.

Recent activity spans Texas, California, Georgia, and North Carolina.
