NIGP 57076: Steel, Reinforcing, Bars and Rods

NIGP 57076 Steel, Reinforcing, Bars And Rods is an Item code covering reinforcing steel bars and rods supplied to state and local governments for incorporation into flatwork, street, and infrastructure construction projects. State and local agencies procure rebar as part of broader concrete and pavement work — the material is rarely solicited standalone but consistently appears as a line item or material specification within street rehabilitation, sidewalk construction, curb and gutter work, concrete retaining walls, and ADA ramp projects. Issuing bodies include municipal public works departments and county procurement offices; cities dominate recent activity, with the City of San Antonio accounting for multiple concurrent street rehabilitation task-order solicitations. Hillsborough County, Florida has also solicited rebar under a bid-discount cooperative vehicle.

The City of San Antonio issued four concurrent street rehabilitation task-order contracts in June 2026 (Solicitation Numbers 230420301, 230420302, 230420303, and 230420304), each incorporating reinforcing steel bars and rods alongside ready-mix concrete, sidewalk and driveway construction, and paving services. Bids closed or are closing between July 31 and August 11, 2026, with pre-bid conferences scheduled for mid-July via WebEx. Hillsborough County, Florida posted solicitation 26P00423 for rebar in various metals as a standalone bid-discount procurement with a response date of July 20, 2026, indicating potential small-local-business-enterprise participation requirements. Recent activity centers in Texas and Florida; the source does not support recent solicitations in other states or regions.
