NIGP 97582: Tracking Equipment, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97582 Tracking Equipment, Rental Or Lease is an Item code under which state and local governments procure GPS vehicle tracking systems, real-time fleet monitoring solutions, and related hardware and software for municipal vehicle and equipment fleets. The City of Tucson issued RFP 260201 in July 2026 seeking a comprehensive GPS vehicle tracking and management system covering approximately 1,005 municipal fleet vehicles with live tracking, geofencing, engine diagnostics, driver behavior analytics, and three-year data retention on domestic U.S. cloud infrastructure, with proposals due August 5, 2026 through the Axia Cooperative Purchasing Program—a vehicle-management master agreement available nationwide to states, counties, cities, school districts, and other public entities with an estimated annual national purchase volume of $30 million. State and local governments buying under this code range across municipal fleet departments (City of Tucson, Broward County), county water and wastewater services managing specialized equipment tracking (Broward County Water Wastewater Services, holding over $100,000 in GPS hardware), and health systems procuring wander-management and patient-tracking solutions (San Mateo Medical Center). Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county purchasing departments, and public hospital systems, with repeat activity visible in Florida counties managing ongoing GPS system maintenance and replacement decisions.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona, with two active RFIs in June and July 2026 from Broward County challenging sole-source designations for GPS tracking parts, repairs, and maintenance from SignalWave LLC serving multiple county agencies. The Tucson RFP emphasizes technical approach, pricing, and vendor qualifications as evaluation criteria, with contract terms typically spanning three to five years and optional renewals. Proposals must meet federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage provisions when applicable and domestic cloud-infrastructure mandates, and successful vendors typically carry Commercial General Liability and Cyber Liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range per claim. Response deadlines in the recent block ranged from mid-July to early August 2026, with pre-submittal meetings and Q&A cycles standard to the procurement process.
