NIGP 75070: Ready-Mix Concrete (see 150-12 for Bagged Concrete)

NIGP 75070 Ready-Mix Concrete, an Item code, encompasses the supply and delivery of ready-mix concrete in various PSI ratings and formulations—including standard concrete, flowable fill, accelerated-set mixes, and fiber-reinforced variants—to support municipal construction, infrastructure repair, maintenance, and emergency projects. State and local governments procure this commodity primarily through as-needed term contracts and master agreements, with issuing bodies spanning cities, counties, state transportation and public works departments, universities, and special-purpose districts seeking reliable delivery to multiple locations with pricing anchored to unit costs per cubic yard or fixed term pricing.

Recent opportunities reflect broad geographic distribution across the South, Midwest, and coastal regions, with notable activity in Texas (San Antonio, Austin, and San Angelo), Florida (Palm Beach County, Pasco County, Orange County), Georgia (Department of Corrections), Kentucky (Transportation Cabinet, Owensboro), Illinois (Department of Natural Resources subsidence remediation projects), and California (Santa Clara County). The City of Austin's IFB 5000 RBB1014REBID (bids due October 22, 2026) solicits pickup and delivery concrete in four categories covering 4,000 to 4,500 PSI formulations with estimated annual volumes of 4 to 10,020 cubic yards, local business and small business preferences of 5% and 3%, and prevailing wage compliance at $22.15 per hour minimum. The City of San Antonio's Annual Contract Ready Mix Concrete (bids due October 9, 2026) covers sidewalks, curbs, retaining walls, and municipal projects with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for October 1, 2026. The University of Mississippi (bids due October 15, 2026) and City of Plant City, Florida (responses due July 9, 2026) seek ready-mix concrete on as-needed bases for campus and municipal infrastructure. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Master Agreement (bids due July 29, 2026) covers eleven counties with firm pricing for Class A, AA, and B concrete, flowable fill, and precast blocks, with FHWA compliance and domestic-content requirements under the Buy America Act. State and local buyers typically impose delivery timeframes of 24 hours or less, require producers to hold Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Producer Numbers or equivalent state certifications, mandate commercial general liability ($1–2 million), workers' compensation, and business automobile coverage, and lock pricing firm for 90 to 120 days or contract term with adjustments thereafter tied to Producer Price Index or Consumer Price Index formulas. DBE goals, local preferences, and prevailing wage requirements vary by issuing body and funding source (federal Highway Administration funds, state appropriations, HUD block grants, or transportation surtax proceeds).
