NIGP 99883: Rail Equipment and Accessories, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99883 Rail Equipment and Accessories, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items (Item) covers the disposition of decommissioned rolling stock and related infrastructure components by transit agencies and rail operators. State and local governments soliciting under this code are liquidating equipment that has reached end of service life or been displaced by fleet modernization — primarily regional transit authorities and port authorities managing container-handling infrastructure. The work involves determining fair market value for surplus assets, establishing "as is, where is" sale terms that disclaim warranties, documenting equipment condition through photography and inspection, and transferring title and removal responsibility to winning bidders. Buyers responding to these solicitations are typically dealers, scrap operators, or secondary-market vendors equipped to remove and relocate heavy rail equipment.

The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority posted RFQ No. 26-1015 on October 15, 2026 offering a Bombardier Bi-Level Cab Car 509 (manufactured 1996, out of service four years) with quotes due October 26, 2026; the winning bidder assumes all removal and shipping costs, must execute a Bill of Sale approved by SFRTA's General Counsel, and must remove the car within thirty days of purchase. Broward County issued a Request for Information on June 23, 2026 challenging a proposed sole-source designation for Dellner Bubenzer USA Inc. to supply, install, and maintain Bubenzer brake systems and storm rail clamps on container gantry cranes at Port Everglades, with responses due July 1, 2026. Activity under this code is concentrated in Florida; no recent opportunities in other states appear in the current block.
