NIGP 97578: Sweepers, Street, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97578 Sweepers, Street, Rental Or Lease is an Item code covering the procurement of street sweeping equipment and services by state and local governments. State and local purchasing agencies acquire street sweepers through rental and lease arrangements to support roadway maintenance programs, supplementing in-house fleet capacity during seasonal demand spikes or for extended service periods. Recent solicitations show buyers securing mechanical street sweepers with hydraulic broom systems, vacuum-assist equipment, and specialized debris-handling configurations for multi-month operational terms, as well as related consumable components such as replacement main and gutter brooms for existing fleet units. Issuing bodies span city departments (Louisville Metro Government Public Works, City of Tucson Environmental General Services), state transportation agencies (Illinois Department of Transportation), and county general services divisions (County of Ventura General Services Agency). Activity appears concentrated in municipal and state transportation purchasing offices managing street maintenance operations across urban and suburban networks.

Recent opportunities cluster in California, Illinois, Kentucky, and Arizona. The Illinois Department of Transportation posted three separate lease solicitations for District 1 between March and May 2026 (IFBs due April 3, April 24, and May 21, 2026) seeking rental of six street sweepers and related vacuum trucks for seven-month terms, all submitted through the BidBuy electronic platform.
