NIGP 76036: Graders, Towed Types

NIGP 76036 Graders, Towed Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure grading equipment and related heavy machinery for infrastructure construction and maintenance projects. Recent state and local solicitations show that work under this code centers on comprehensive grading, earthwork, and pavement rehabilitation as components of larger municipal transportation and infrastructure projects — including roundabout construction, expressway pavement rehabilitation, and related utility coordination. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipalities (city of Marietta, Georgia; Santa Clara County, California) and cooperative purchasing organizations serving regional county and municipal jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of participating Washington state counties). Grading equipment appears in solicitations either as a discrete line item within broader construction scopes or as part of the general equipment roster contractors must supply alongside labor and materials.

Recent opportunities reflect activity concentrated in California and Georgia, with cooperative purchasing extending to Washington state and broader regional participation. The City of Marietta's roundabout construction project (RFB 26-53444, bids due June 26, 2026) included grading as part of its scope and required GDOT certification for bidders; Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB RDAFY260694, bids due May 21, 2026) incorporated grading within a 142-working-day pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation scope; and Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) represents a cooperative contracting vehicle serving thousands of public entities across multiple states and Canada, though the solicitation abstracts do not identify grading equipment as a specific focus within that broader law enforcement procurement. Geographic and issuing-body data from recent postings remain limited, and the code does not show widespread multi-state activity in the available opportunity set.
