NIGP 54010: Bridge Timbers and Railroad Ties, Treated

NIGP 54010 Bridge Timbers and Railroad Ties, Treated is an Item code purchasing treated timber products for bridge construction, replacement, and trail infrastructure repair by state agencies, counties, and municipalities. State and local governments buy railroad ties, bridge decking timbers, treated cross ties in various dimensions, and related timber components for highway and pedestrian bridge projects, trail trestle work, and railway maintenance infrastructure. Recent solicitations show the code capturing both removal of existing treated ties from bridge structures and procurement of new treated timber materials to specification, typically bundled within larger capital infrastructure projects rather than as standalone timber purchases.

The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation and parks, county transportation and public works offices, municipalities, and county commissioners managing recreation facilities. Washington State Parks, Orange County Florida, Okaloosa County Florida, the City of Palm Bay on behalf of Brevard County, the State of Maine Department of Transportation, and Clay County Florida have posted opportunities in the recent window. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with Maine and other states represented. Representative recent opportunities include Washington State Parks' removal of existing railroad ties and installation of precast concrete deck panels on two steel trestles at Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail (RFP, response due August 13, 2026); Clay County's construction of approximately 7,642 linear feet of boardwalk using pressure-treated lumber and composite materials at Moccasin Slough Park (IFB, response due February 12, 2026); and the State of Maine Department of Transportation's RFQ for treated cross ties in 6"x8" and 7"x9" configurations ranging 5 to 16 feet in length, rail materials, and bridge ties for multiple delivery locations throughout Maine (RFQ, response due April 1, 2026).
