NIGP 57077: Steel, Reinforcing, Mesh

NIGP 57077 Steel, Reinforcing, Mesh is an Item code that encompasses reinforcing steel products, mesh materials, and related fastening supplies used in structural construction and infrastructure repair projects by state and local governments. The code covers deformed steel bars, welded wire fabric, expanded metal mesh, and ancillary hardware typically specified for concrete reinforcement, bridge work, water infrastructure, and building construction. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include municipal water districts, transportation departments, public works agencies, and capital project offices managing infrastructure maintenance and new construction.

The North Texas Municipal Water District Maintenance Department posted an IFB on July 9, 2026 (due July 29, 2026) for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generator units, though this opportunity reflects equipment procurement rather than reinforcing steel itself. The recent opportunities block contains limited activity; geographic spread and repeat-buyer patterns across the code cannot be reliably characterized from a single posting. Monitor for RFP and IFB activity from state DOTs, county public works departments, and municipal water and wastewater authorities in regions with active infrastructure modernization programs, where reinforcing-steel procurement typically concentrates around scheduled concrete repair, bridge rehabilitation, and water-main replacement cycles.
