NIGP 97586: Truck and Van Rental or Lease (incl. Fire and Garbage Trucks)

NIGP 97586 Truck and Van Rental or Lease (Including Fire and Garbage Trucks), an Item code, encompasses short-term and extended rental of commercial trucks, specialized emergency vehicles, and equipment for state and local operations. Recent solicitations reflect diverse fleet needs: counties and municipalities rent box trucks for election-night logistics and temporary operational support; fire departments and emergency services procure or lease custom-built apparatus and specialized response vehicles; solid waste and transportation departments rent heavy-duty hauling and compactor trucks; and cities manage fleet operations through comprehensive rental and lease-to-purchase agreements covering light-duty through heavy-duty equipment with integrated maintenance and telematics support.

Activity under the code spans county purchasing offices, municipal public works and transportation departments, school districts, fire departments, boards of elections, and state transportation agencies. Recent solicitations include the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections' RFB #7318 (box truck rental for November 2026 election night, due October 20, 2026), Greenville County's RFP #26003 for a customized Ram 3500 squad truck for Tigerville Fire Department (due July 25, 2025), the City of Fort Worth's equipment rental RFP (due October 15, 2026, with 30% small business participation goal), the California Department of Water Resources' IFB for boat portage and trailering services at two South Delta locations (due October 22, 2026, with 5% small business and 1–5% DVBE incentives), the Texas Department of Transportation's class 8 day cab tractor rental (due September 21, 2026), and Marion County Solid Waste's IFB for two cubic yard stationary garbage compactors (due August 20, 2026). Geographic concentration includes California (water resources and environmental operations), Texas (state transportation), Georgia (fire services and cities), Ohio (elections), Florida (solid waste and emergency services), South Carolina (fire departments), and Michigan (municipal transit). The City of Atlanta's pre-solicitation notice for fleet rental and lease-to-purchase spanning four equipment classification groups signals sustained demand for integrated, full-service vehicle management and maintenance contracts with stringent uptime and response requirements.
