NIGP 99842: Fire and Police Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified), Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99842 Fire And Police Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified), Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code covering the procurement, sale, and disposition of fire apparatus, police equipment, detention facility security systems, and related emergency-response infrastructure by state and local government agencies. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code range from county sheriff and police departments to county fire rescue services, county detention facilities, and transit authorities, with Collin County, Hillsborough County, Monroe County, Broward County, Fulton County, and the City of Columbus appearing as active buyers in recent months. Current activity spans apparatus purchases (fire engines and air-and-light trucks), surplus equipment sales (retired fire and police vehicles), confiscated firearm trades, detention security equipment (full-body scanners), and specialized firefighting tools and breathing apparatus systems. Representative recent solicitations include Collin County's RFP for a full-body scanner system with professional installation and four-hour technical support for its Adult Detention Facility ($242,000 first-year hardware and implementation cost, proposals due September 17, 2026); Broward County's IFB for one structural fire engine with 510 horsepower minimum and full NFPA certification (bids due September 14, 2026, with two responsive bids submitted); Hillsborough County's sole-source notice of intent to award two Air and Light Trucks to Ten-8 Fire & Safety LLC for $1.878 million via H-GAC cooperative contract; and Monroe County's ITB for surplus firefighting and emergency response equipment sale (nine retired units with combined estimated value of $52,060, bids due October 22, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough, Broward, Monroe counties), Georgia (Fulton County, Bibb County School District), and Texas (Collin County), with secondary activity in Ohio (Columbus Consolidated Government). Issuing bodies include county fire rescue departments, county detention authorities, municipal police departments, and school districts. Beyond apparatus procurement, the code captures specialized service contracts such as Fulton County's IFB for fire and rescue tools, powered equipment, and SCBA maintenance services, and the Bibb County School District's RFP for annual fire alarm inspection and certification across 49 school facilities. Equipment sales and trades appear periodically—Monroe County's surplus sale and Columbus Police Department's confiscated firearms-for-credit trade (306 used firearms plus seven upper receivers exchanged for Heckler & Koch rifles, bids due October 14, 2026) demonstrate that disposition and equipment-exchange activity regularly flows through this code alongside procurement.
