NIGP 76030: Graders, Elevating Type

NIGP 76030 Graders, Elevating Type is an Item code under which state and local governments procure new motor graders and related attachments for road maintenance, construction, and grading operations. Recent solicitations show county road and bridge departments as the primary buyers, acquiring equipment with detailed specifications covering engine displacement, transmission type, blade and moldboard configurations, cab climate control, and hydraulic systems. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative purchasing vehicle, is also active under this code, aggregating demand across multiple participating jurisdictions to establish master contracts for heavy and compact construction equipment available to municipalities, counties, and other public entities.

County governments in Georgia dominate recent activity under NIGP 76030. Colquitt County issued an Invitation to Bid on June 30, 2026 for two new motor graders with slopers, specifying models including CAT 140 and John Deere 670G equivalents, with a five-year warranty and guaranteed buyback pricing. Seminole County, Georgia posted a sealed bid RFQ on July 14, 2026 for one motor grader meeting detailed technical specifications for road maintenance. Sourcewell posted RFP 26RFP110326 Heavy & Compact Construction Equipment on September 15, 2026 with proposals due November 3, 2026, establishing a cooperative contracting solution for use by Participating Entities across multiple jurisdictions. A separate Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) demonstrates the cooperative's broader procurement reach beyond grading equipment alone. Geographic activity extends to California, where Santa Clara County solicited pavement rehabilitation bids on May 21, 2026 that included grading and related earthwork components, and Washington, where Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing framework serves Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties.
