About NIGP 17560
NIGP 17560 Ovens, Laboratory is an Item code covering laboratory ovens and specialized furnaces for testing and materials analysis that state departments of transportation and related public agencies procure for asphalt content testing, material property assessment, and construction materials evaluation. Recent solicitations show state procurement offices purchasing forced-air convection ovens (typically 27–28 cubic foot capacity, 230V single-phase, stainless steel interiors with digital temperature control and PID regulation), NCAT asphalt content furnaces for ignition burn-off testing per ASTM D6307 and AASHTO T308 standards, and associated starter kits and accessories. The Texas Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Transportation are the dominant recent buyers, with TxDOT issuing multiple IFBs for both standard laboratory ovens and specialized asphalt-testing furnaces, and IDOT District 6 rebidding forced-air ovens after prior procurements. Both agencies apply state procurement preferences—TxDOT enforces Texas-produced and USA-produced preferences, service-disabled veteran business set-asides, and energy-efficiency scoring, while IDOT imposes prevailing wage and equal opportunity compliance tied to Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions.
Geographic activity centers on Texas and Illinois, with all five recent opportunities posted between May and August 2026 originating from TxDOT districts (Abilene, Childress) and IDOT District 6. Representative recent solicitations include TxDOT Abilene's IFB 601340000066830 (posted July 23, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for two forced-air digital ovens and three NCAT asphalt furnaces with 12-month warranties and failure-free operational acceptance periods, and IDOT District 6's IFB 27494DOTFINADB52856 (posted June 15, 2026, due June 25, 2026) for a 28 cubic foot forced-air oven meeting specified temperature uniformity (±2.5°C) and stability (±0.3°C) requirements. Both states require vendor registration on their centralized bidders lists (TxDOT's Centralized Master Bidders List via the Euna Procurement/Bonfire platform; IDOT through standard state procurement channels) and submission of comprehensive product literature demonstrating compliance with or superiority to stated specifications when bidders propose alternatives to named equipment models.
