NIGP 760: Road and Highway Equipment: Earth Handling, Grading, Moving, Packing, etc.

NIGP 760 Road and Highway Equipment: Earth Handling, Grading, Moving, Packing, Etc., a Class code, covers the supply, maintenance, and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles used for roadway construction, maintenance, and site preparation work that state and local governments procure on a project or as-needed basis. The equipment types regularly appearing in recent solicitations—asphalt distributors, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, graders, compactors, dump trucks, and specialized attachments—reflect the ongoing demand across transportation departments, counties, municipalities, and water authorities for both capital purchases and repair services. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Missouri DOT, Pennsylvania DOT), county governments (Hillsborough, Charles County, Collin County, Marion County), cities (Pittsburgh, Wichita, Garland, Santa Cruz), water and transit authorities, and special districts. Repeat buyers include transportation departments procuring oil distributors and specialized motorgrader attachments, and county public works departments acquiring fleet vehicles and equipment in the $4–5 million range.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in the Midwest and Southeast, with notable projects in Missouri (FY27 statewide asphalt distributor contracts, sole-source roller purchases), Pennsylvania (bridge inspection equipment, sign structure services), Florida (water authority water main projects, county fleet purchases, landfill and wastewater facility equipment), North Carolina (stream restoration equipment), and Texas (roadway widening and utility projects). Representative opportunities include the Missouri Department of Transportation's FY27 statewide oil distributor IFB (bids due October 12, 2026) for single-axle 2,000-gallon and tandem-axle 3,000-gallon asphalt distributors with delivery to ten locations across Missouri; Hillsborough County's $4.351 million ITB for construction and road maintenance vehicles including Freightliner dump trucks, Peterson grapple vehicles, thermoplastic melter trucks, and specialized rollers and sweepers (bids due September 30, 2026); Charles County, Maryland's design-build RFP for a wastewater treatment plant standpipe with 33.96% MWBE participation goal (proposals due October 1, 2026); and the City of Pittsburgh's IFB for parts and repair services for heavy, landscaping, and small equipment from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Case, and Gradall, requiring hourly labor rate pricing (bids due November 1, 2024, though this posting date appears misaligned with current solicitation timing). Prevailing wage requirements apply to most federally or state-funded infrastructure work; Davis-Bacon and comparable state rates are common conditions on water, transportation, and community development projects.
