NIGP 21015: Bricks, Concrete

NIGP 21015 Bricks, Concrete, Item, represents a commodity code capturing precast and site-cast concrete products, concrete services, and related masonry materials that state and local governments procure for infrastructure repair, sidewalk and curb replacement, utility pads, and streetscape improvements. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying concrete pavement installation and repair, ready-mixed concrete delivery, precast concrete pavers and utility components, and design-build concrete enclosures rather than raw bricks alone, indicating the code pulls together both materials supply and service delivery within a single procurement stream.

Issuing bodies span counties, cities, transit authorities, municipal utilities, water authorities, school districts, and special-purpose districts across the United States. Repeat buyers include Santa Clara County (California), Broward County (Florida), and the City of Marietta (Georgia), each posting multiple concrete-related solicitations in recent months. The geographic spread is broad—Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority, City of Sanford, Pinellas County, Orange County, Broward County), Georgia (Liberty County, City of Cadwell, City of Johns Creek, City of Marietta, Macon Water Authority, Cherokee County), California (Santa Clara County), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport, City of Meriden), North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System), Texas (City of Midland, City of Arlington), Kentucky (City of Owensboro), and others—with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for precast concrete pads and sleeves for electrical utility equipment (response due April 17, 2018, awarded to Oldcastle Precast, Inc.); City of Sanford, Florida's IFB 24/25-30R for concrete installation and replacement including Type F curb, gutter, sidewalks, and ramps on a term contract with response due January 29, 2026; Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY27-0066 for countywide pavement installation and repair services with an estimated contract sum of $2.5 million and bids due August 31, 2026; and City of Arlington, Texas's RFP 260258 for annual requirements concrete repair services including overlays, new installations, and polyurethane foam injection pavement leveling throughout the city, due August 20, 2026. Prevailing-wage requirements appear in several public-works-funded concrete contracts; bonding and insurance mandates are standard across most RFPs and IFBs. Local-vendor preferences and set-asides (such as the 13% M/WBE goal on Liberty County's amphitheater project and the 10% SBE goal on Pinellas County's coordinated sewer and water projects) appear selectively. The code currently shows steady mid-market activity across routine maintenance, emergency replacement, and planned infrastructure projects.
