NIGP 54542: Masonry Saws and Blades (see Class 755 for Road and Highway Concrete Saws)

NIGP 54542 Masonry Saws And Blades, an Item code, covers concrete-cutting and concrete-repair tooling and equipment that state and local governments source for in-house maintenance and construction operations. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in concrete removal, sidewalk and pavement repair, and concrete-surface preparation work—specifically sawcutting operations to isolate concrete sections for replacement, forming and finishing tasks, and related concrete-placement activities. The issuing bodies include city parks and recreation departments, county public works and general infrastructure divisions, and community development authorities, typically bundling concrete-cutting and repair work as integrated annual or emergency contracts rather than procuring saws and blades as standalone line items. Governments are buying the labor and materials together on an as-needed basis, which means tool and equipment supply is embedded in larger concrete-services RFPs and IFBs rather than surfacing as direct equipment purchases.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP (due August 20, 2026) for annual concrete repair, overlay, and installation services including pavement leveling via polyurethane injection on Parks, Recreation, & Culture Department assets. The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an IFB (due August 18, 2026) for miscellaneous concrete and asphalt services countywide on an as-needed basis. The City of Madison Community Development Authority in Wisconsin solicited bids (due July 17, 2026) for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments, specifying sawcutting and removal of 1,300 square feet of existing concrete, subgrade preparation, new placement with ADA-compliant finishing, and full incidental services under Davis-Bacon wage requirements. Orange County, Florida issued an emergency IFB (due July 7, 2026) for bridge replacement work estimated at $6.2 million, and the City of Jackson, Michigan sought ready-mix concrete continuous-delivery services (RFP, due June 18, 2026) for Department of Public Works projects with federal compliance tied to Community Development Block Grant and HUD funding. The code sees steady regional activity but operates within integrated concrete-construction and repair contracts rather than as a discrete equipment-procurement channel.
