NIGP 51567: Shredders and Screeners (for Conditioning Soil)

NIGP 51567 Shredders and Screeners (for Conditioning Soil), an Item code, covers portable material-conditioning equipment that state and local governments purchase for grounds maintenance, infrastructure construction, and public works operations. Recent opportunities show demand for mobile screeners and dirt-conditioning equipment across county road departments, transit authorities, community college districts, and special-purpose jurisdictions managing landfill closures, grounds upkeep, and landfill remediation work. Issuing bodies range from small rural counties to large metropolitan authorities and state cooperative purchasing vehicles, reflecting the equipment's utility across jurisdictions of varying size and operational scope. The work being solicited includes sealed-bid procurement of new, ready-to-use screening and material-handling equipment with detailed technical specifications, delivery requirements, and equipment-demonstration provisions at the buyer's discretion.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and across cooperative purchasing networks spanning multiple states.
