NIGP 02035: Grain Bins and Tanks

NIGP 02035 Grain Bins and Tanks, an Item code, covers the purchase and installation of grain storage equipment for agricultural operations and research facilities within state and local government. State and local governments buy grain bins under this code for university agricultural research centers, extension facilities, and specialized agricultural programs; recent solicitations show demand for new installations at research stations where grain storage capacity supports teaching, research, or commodity handling functions. The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions (universities and their agricultural colleges), with one state-level university system represented in recent activity.

The University System of Georgia's Board of Regents and Texas A&M University are the repeat buyers in the recent record. The University of Georgia (Board of Regents) posted an ITB for grain bin purchase and installation at UGA Midville College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences with a response deadline of March 16, 2026, requiring a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 9, 2026 at the project site and electronic bid submission via Jaggaer Sourcing Director. Texas A&M University's Administrative Services Procurement Office issued ITB #AG-RSCH-ITB-6600 for a grain storage bin at the Texas A&M AgriLife McGregor Research Center with bids due July 30, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time; this solicitation included a subcontracting preproposal webinar scheduled for July 16, 2026 and questions deadline of the same date, with all documentation available on the AggieBid platform. Both solicitations emphasize contractor responsibility for furnishing all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for successful installation, with lowest responsive and responsible bidder determination and no set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions disclosed in the available documentation.
