NIGP 00542: Abrasives, Solid: Wheels, Stones, etc.

NIGP 00542 Abrasives, Solid: Wheels, Stones, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure aggregates, stone materials, and related products for public works, maintenance, and infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show activity centered on bulk stone procurement — crushed stone, graded aggregate base, rip-rap, and screening materials — purchased on annual or multi-year contracts with delivery to job sites or vendor pickup points. Issuing bodies include county and consolidated city governments managing public works operations and facility maintenance.

Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) posted an RFB for stone on an as-needed basis with bids due June 17, 2026, awarding to two vendors as Primary and Secondary Contractors selected as the two lowest responsive, responsible bidders. The scope covered fourteen stone classifications including #3, #34, and #5 stone, screening materials, crushed stone base, and graded aggregate base, with estimated monthly usage of approximately 200 tons; the contract term spans two years with options to renew for three additional twelve-month periods. Delivery requirements included F.O.B. job site within city limits within two hours of order placement when specified, with most orders picked up at the vendor's plant by Public Works Department employees. Vendors were required to carry $1 million general liability and automobile liability coverage, be E-Verify registered, and comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act requirements. Activity under this code remains limited in the available records, with only one substantive procurement opportunity in the recent window.
