NIGP 97582: Tracking Equipment, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97582 Tracking Equipment, Rental or Lease, an Item code, encompasses real-time vehicle and personnel monitoring systems, electronic supervision platforms for criminal justice populations, and specialized wander-management systems for healthcare settings. State and local governments are actively procuring GPS fleet tracking with telematics and driver analytics; electronic monitoring systems for pre-trial and post-conviction offender supervision including victim tracking; wander-management platforms for hospital patient safety; and rental or lease-to-purchase arrangements for tracked fleet and off-road equipment. Issuing bodies include city governments, county agencies, specialized public health systems, and law enforcement departments. Police departments, municipal public works and utilities divisions, county water and wastewater services, and public hospital systems are the primary buyers. Cooperative purchasing programs such as Axia expand the buying base to include states, school districts, and non-profit organizations nationwide.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, and North Carolina. The City of Tucson issued an RFP on August 13, 2026 for a GPS vehicle tracking and management system covering approximately 1,005 fleet vehicles with live tracking, geofencing, driver behavior analytics, and integration with Assetworks, with an estimated annual national purchase volume of $30 million through the Axia Cooperative and proposals due August 5, 2026.
