NIGP 75028: Concrete Curing Blankets and Paper

NIGP 75028 Concrete Curing Blankets and Paper, an Item code, covers precast concrete products and ready-mix concrete delivery services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure repair, utility upgrades, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are acquiring precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts for utility equipment foundations; ready-mix concrete for public works departments; and concrete repair and overlay services including sidewalk replacement, sewer mainline extensions with precast concrete manholes, and pavement resurfacing with concrete adjustments around utility structures. Issuing bodies span utility authorities, county transportation and sanitation districts, city public works and parks departments, and municipal development authorities. Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida has issued two separate RFQs for precast concrete products—the first cancelled on July 1, 2026 after rejection of bids, with a rebid (AR26050JG) due August 11, 2026 covering 16 line items and 476 estimated units over a five-year term requiring firm-fixed unit pricing, 100% Performance Bond compliance, and prevailing wage adherence.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida, California, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The City of Jackson, Michigan issued an RFP for ready-mix concrete continuous delivery services with emergency on-call capability through June 18, 2026, bundling delivery fees, delivered materials, miscellaneous concrete items, and pickup aggregates under a one-year term with four optional renewals subject to HUD Davis-Bacon and Section 3 employment requirements.
