NIGP 99809: Automobile, Truck and Bus Parts and Equipment, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99809 Automobile, Truck And Bus Parts And Equipment, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items (Item) encompasses the direct sale or auction of surplus, confiscated, and obsolete vehicles and equipment by state and local government agencies, as well as the procurement of specialized parts to maintain active transit and emergency response fleets. State and local governments soliciting under this code include cities, counties, school districts, and transit authorities that manage vehicle fleets or need to liquidate seized or retired assets. Recent solicitations span fleet parts procurement for transit agencies (air conditioning and heating components, wheelchair lift assemblies, OEM bus parts, fasteners), parts acquisition by state transportation departments, and revenue-generating surplus property sales and auctions managed by municipal asset departments. The City of Tampa's RFP for surplus vehicle and equipment auction services (due November 9, 2026) and Charlotte Area Transit System's ongoing ITBs for wheelchair lift parts and MCI OEM bus components represent the dominant activity: transit authorities and city procurement offices issuing indefinite-quantity unit-price contracts for parts supporting active operations, while municipal asset management departments conduct asset-liquidation RFPs for commissioning auctioneers and processors.

Activity clusters in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas, with additional solicitations from Colorado and Ohio-based transit authorities. The Charlotte Area Transit System appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple ITBs for component categories (wheelchair lifts due June 3, 2026; MCI OEM parts due June 18, 2026). Monroe County, Florida solicited bids on surplus firefighting and emergency response equipment (nine units totaling approximately $52,060, due October 22, 2026), while Columbus Consolidated Government conducted a trade or credit transaction involving 306 used and confiscated firearms for Heckler & Koch rifle acquisition (due October 14, 2026). The Texas Department of Transportation issued a narrow IFB for refuse truck parts—a follower assembly and hinge only—requiring OEM specification compliance (due September 30, 2026). DeKalb County School District's RFP for a stop-arm violation enforcement system (due September 10, 2026) represents emerging demand for vehicle-mounted safety technology, with a no-cost-to-district model and phased installation across 1,000 buses by year four. Orange County Transportation Authority's 2026 IFB for fasteners specified $150,000 over three years with a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal and prevailing wage requirements.
