NIGP 76015: Ditch and Trenching Machines

NIGP 76015 Ditch and Trenching Machines, an Item code, encompasses equipment and machinery used for excavation, trench installation, and bore operations in infrastructure repair and construction—work state and local governments solicit when replacing or installing water and wastewater mains, repairing drainage systems, installing utility conduits, and maintaining roadway and airfield pavements. Recent opportunities show city departments, counties, and special districts purchasing bore-and-trenching services on an on-call basis, pothole-repair equipment for road maintenance, and portable construction equipment for multi-jurisdiction operations. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Brownsville, City of Dallas, City of Norwalk), counties (Henderson County, Pinellas County, Dallas County, Santa Clara County), transit or airport authorities (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Department of Aviation), educational service districts (Educational Service District 564), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating Washington and Minnesota entities).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (City of Brownsville bore-and-trenching IFB due June 16, 2026; Henderson County pothole-machine ITB due October 27, 2026; Dallas County water-and-wastewater main replacements), Florida (Pinellas County Federal Open Channel Drainage Repair Work Order Contract-Package 2, ITB-C due October 20, 2026 for Step 2 submission), Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airfield pavement repairs; City of Marietta roundabout construction with water, sewer, and gas line relocation), and California (Santa Clara County Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project due May 21, 2026).
