NIGP 28516: Commutators, Resurfacers, Stone

NIGP 28516 Commutators, Resurfacers, Stone (Item) covers aggregates and stone materials that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, maintenance, and construction projects — including crushed stone, graded aggregate base, rip-rap, screening materials, and specialty stone classifications used in roadway and public works applications. The issuing bodies active under this code span school districts, county public works departments, and municipal governments, with procurement driven by ongoing maintenance contracts and grant-funded capital projects. Northside Independent School District in Texas issued IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment parts and supplies with a July 1, 2026 response date, though this solicitation sits at the broader electrical-equipment family rather than stone-specific procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia issued a two-year stone contract under RFB No. 26-0037 with a June 17, 2026 bid opening, seeking to award Primary and Secondary Contractors for as-needed delivery of fourteen stone classifications with estimated monthly usage of approximately 200 tons; pricing includes all freight and delivery with no additional fees beyond quoted unit prices, and the contract allows for up to three additional twelve-month renewal periods with price escalation capped at five percent after the initial two-year term, subject to documented justification.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with Collier County, Florida soliciting sealed bids in February 2026 for the Oil Well Road (C.R. 858) Shoulder Improvement Project involving 523 tons of superpave asphalt concrete, 23,353 square yards of performance turf, and related roadway materials under bid number 25-8425 with a January 27, 2026 registration deadline and $2,551,572.40 anticipated project budget. The Columbus Consolidated Government stone contract reflects the operational pattern for this code: multi-vendor award structures, fixed pricing over an initial term with capped escalation, delivery within tight response windows, and comprehensive insurance and compliance requirements including E-Verify and state-specific statutory obligations. Collier County's roadway project demonstrates how stone and aggregate procurement integrates into larger infrastructure construction where bond, liquidated damages, and federal/grant compliance requirements shape bidding conditions.
