NIGP 75030: Concrete, Precast

NIGP 75030 Concrete, Precast is an Item code under which state and local governments procure factory-manufactured concrete structural components—pads, sleeves, posts, wall panels, deck elements, utility casings, and waste receptacles—for utility infrastructure, municipal facilities, transportation projects, and general capital improvement work. Recent solicitations show demand for precast concrete in utility substations and electrical equipment mounting, water and wastewater system infrastructure, roadway and bridge rehabilitation, municipal facility construction, and parks and recreation improvements. Issuing bodies span utility authorities, county transportation and public works departments, cities, school districts, special water and sewer authorities, and county departments of education. Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) in Florida has posted multiple annual requirements contracts for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts, including a rebid (AR 26-050-JG) due August 11, 2026; the scope reflects standardized product procurement on a fixed-price, as-needed basis with firm-fixed unit pricing across multiple contract years. Other recent activity includes precast concrete sewer manholes and drainage components for Santa Clara County's sanitary sewer rehabilitation (Sanitation District No. 2-3, September 2026), precast concrete steps and foundation elements for municipal residential rehabilitation in Jackson, Michigan (August 2026), precast wall panels for a law enforcement facility in Portage County, Wisconsin (May 2026), and precast concrete waste receptacles for Harris County, Texas (August 2026).

Geographic concentration centers on Florida (KUA multiple solicitations, Sanford concrete services, Orange County bridge projects) and California (Santa Clara County sewer work), with significant activity also in Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Utah. Pricing across recent opportunities ranges from modest annual requirements ($150,000 performance bonds on utility equipment pads at KUA) to capital-intensive infrastructure work (Orange County bridge replacement at $6.2 million). Contracts typically run one to five years with firm fixed-price or unit-price structures, often including annual requirements language where quantities are estimates only and not guaranteed. Vendors frequently face performance bonding requirements (100% of contract value common), OSHA and specification compliance mandates, warranty obligations (one to two years typical), and delivery timelines of ten business days or faster for utility components. Evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive and responsible bidder on price; no standout set-aside designations or DBE goals appear in the precast concrete category itself, though broader infrastructure projects incorporating precast work may embed county business enterprise or disadvantaged business participation targets at the prime-contract level.
