NIGP 08525: Bags, Cement

NIGP 08525 Bags, Cement is an Item code covering Portland cement in bags for public works and infrastructure projects, sourced by county governments and special districts on an as-needed or annual contract basis. State and local buyers procure standard Portland Type I cement in 93–94 lb bags, typically for road construction, repairs, and general public works activity. Deliveries occur throughout the contract year or project cycle, with pricing structured per bag and delivery timeframes negotiated by supplier. County purchasing departments represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, using sealed-bid processes and IFB notices to source reliable supply at competitive rates.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with Colquitt County, Georgia posting a sealed-bid IFB for 2027 Annual Bag Cement (solicitation PE77891NONST2027000000096) due October 14, 2026, seeking Portland Type I in 93–94 lb bags on an as-needed basis for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2027. Pasco County, Florida issued a concurrent IFB (IFBBW26096) on June 2, 2026, due June 30, 2026, for as-needed delivery of both concrete fiber and regular ready-mix concrete to multiple county sites, though no contract value or estimated volume was disclosed. The code sees limited recent posting activity overall, suggesting modest but steady demand from county-level infrastructure and maintenance operations.
