NIGP 15015: Concrete, Polymer, All Types

NIGP 15015 Concrete, Polymer, All Types (Item) represents a fragmented procurement space where state and local governments buy ready-mix concrete, precast concrete components, and polymer additives for water treatment and wastewater operations across diverse infrastructure, maintenance, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show concrete placement and repair dominating the current opportunity set — cities and counties are actively procuring ready-mix concrete for sidewalk replacement, parking lot reconstruction, foundation work, and park improvements; precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts for utility infrastructure; and solids-dewatering polymers for municipal water reclamation facilities. Issuing bodies span city public works departments (Sarasota, Arlington, Dallas, Greenville, Olathe, Pittsburgh), county transportation and water authorities (Pinal County, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Gwinnett County, Macon Water Authority), transit and special-purpose districts (Madison County Mass Transit), and state transportation and corrections departments (UDOT, Caltrans, Georgia Department of Corrections). School districts and community development authorities also appear in the recent record (Cirrus Academy Charter School, City of Jackson Community Development Department). No single repeat buyer dominates; activity is distributed across dozens of small to mid-sized jurisdictions, though water utility and parks departments show consistent presence.

Concrete installation, repair, and replacement work spans the geographic footprint of recent postings, with notable concentration in Texas (Dallas, Arlington, San Angelo, Midland, Buda, Lubbock), Florida (Sarasota, Orange County, Okaloosa County, Indian River County, Pasco County, Plant City), Utah (West Valley City, Johnson Water Improvement District), and Georgia (Macon Water Authority, Gwinnett County, Georgia Department of Corrections). Secondary activity appears in California, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Dallas issuing an IFB for the 2026 Bond Residential Sidewalk Replacement Program Region 3A with an estimated budget of $2.2 million and bids due November 10, 2026; West Valley City requesting an RFP for the Woodledge Park Hard Court Improvement Project (concrete court surfaces, November 18, 2026 deadline) with local-vendor preferences of 1% and veteran-hiring preferences of an additional 1%; Kissimmee Utility Authority rebidding precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts under an annual requirements contract with bids due August 11, 2026 (previous solicitation was cancelled); the City of Pittsburgh issuing an IFB for ready-mix concrete and related materials with a two-year initial term and DBE participation goals of 18% minority-owned, 7% women-owned, 5% veteran-owned, and 3% LGBTQIA+-owned participation (July 31, 2026 deadline); and the Utah Department of Transportation issuing an IFB for rapid-set volumetric concrete truck delivery to two job sites with bids due October 14, 2026. Polymer procurement for water treatment appears sporadically, with Gwinnett County soliciting solids dewatering and thickening polymer on an annual contract (July 30, 2026 deadline) and the Town of Manchester, Connecticut issuing a solicitation for emulsion and Mannich polymers for sludge processing.
