NIGP 08525: Bags, Cement

NIGP 08525 Bags, Cement is an Item code covering bagged Portland cement and related cement products that state and local governments procure for road and infrastructure construction, maintenance, and repair. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying Type I/II and Type IL Portland Cement in bags (typically 94-pound units) for street and transportation department projects, conforming to ASTM and state-specific standards such as Texas Department of Transportation specifications. Issuing bodies include county purchasing departments and city procurement offices in Texas, Florida, and Arizona. The work is straightforward procurement of commodity materials with unit pricing, typically on annual or multi-year requirements or indefinite-quantity contracts. Counties and cities are the primary buyers under this code; state departments and transit authorities do not appear in recent activity.

Williamson County, Texas has issued two separate solicitations for Portland Cement within four months: an IFB posted March 25, 2026 (due April 21, 2026) for 250 tons each of Type I/II and Type IL Portland Cement plus fifty 94-pound bags of each type, and a reposted IFB numbered 26IFB35 (due April 21, 2026) with identical scope. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement issued IFB 260033A for a five-year Portland Cement supply contract with an estimated annual requirement of 300 tons of ASTM C-150, Type II Low Alkali cement, with a targeted July 1, 2026 commencement and DBE participation reporting requirements. Texas and Arizona show the most recent activity. The source includes one unrelated notice (Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation) and one out-of-scope opportunity (City of Richardson trash and recycle bags), neither of which are actionable under this cement bags code.
