NIGP 76010: Buckets (for Ditchers, Draglines, Loaders, etc.)

NIGP 76010 Buckets (For Ditchers, Draglines, Loaders, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses equipment attachments—particularly buckets and specialized grapples for compact loaders, excavators, and draglines—that state and local governments procure as components of larger construction and public works projects. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies purchasing bucket attachments bundled with loader and excavator equipment, either as standalone replacement or upgrade components or as part of integrated heavy-equipment acquisitions. The issuing bodies span county governments (Terrell County, Georgia; Santa Clara County, California), cities (Valdosta, Georgia; Marietta, Georgia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Minnesota). Sourcewell has posted multiple heavy-equipment RFPs on behalf of its participating entities across multiple states, indicating that cooperative purchasing frameworks drive significant volume under this code.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and California, with broader participation across the Sourcewell cooperative network spanning Minnesota, Washington, and multiple other jurisdictions nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP110326 for Heavy and Compact Construction Equipment with Related Attachments and Services, due November 3, 2026, available through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; the City of Valdosta's IFB 12-27 for a Compact Tracked Utility Loader with Stump Grinder, Grapple Rake, and Standard Bucket, closed September 8, 2026; and Terrell County's RFP 2026-08-004 for a 19,000–20,000 lb mini excavator with attachments, due September 10, 2026. Sourcewell's cooperative structure and recurring solicitations suggest sustained procurement activity and multiple award opportunities under this code.
