NIGP 76055: Mats, Erosion Control Blankets, Rolled

NIGP 76055 Mats, Erosion Control Blankets, Rolled is an Item code describing articulated concrete block and turf reinforcement erosion control products that state and local governments procure as components of post-flood recovery, stormwater management, slope stabilization, and stream-restoration projects. Recent solicitations show demand for rolled erosion control blankets (articulating concrete block mats with geotextile or geogrid backing), high-performance turf reinforcement matting (HPTRM), and associated installation labor and site preparation across counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. Issuing bodies span state environmental and natural-resource agencies, county drainage and parks departments, municipal public works and engineering offices, and independent school districts—all acquiring these products either as standalone material purchases or as embedded line items within broader erosion-control or stormwater-infrastructure contracts. The code encompasses both sealed-bid purchases of mats alone and competitive awards for design-build or labor-inclusive erosion-stabilization projects in which HPTRM or concrete block systems form the primary stabilization solution.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB for approximately thirty-two rolls of articulated concrete block erosion control mats (sixteen feet wide by fifty feet long, pyramid-style blocks, geogrid backing) for delivery to White Oak Creek Wildlife Management Area near Omaha, Texas by August 15, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026. Fayette County, Georgia sought bids (ITB 27001-B, due July 28, 2026) for Kenwood Park Erosion Stabilization specifying Solmax Propex Pyramat 75 HPTRM across 1,760 square yards as part of a $5,000-allowance project combining grading, temporary silt fencing, and permanent seeding. The City of Casselberry, Florida (ITB 2026-1468, bids due August 20, 2026 at a mandatory pre-bid on August 4) is reconstructing post-hurricane drainage at two locations with articulating concrete block and rip-rap revetment under a $623,345 engineering estimate funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service. Lawrence County Board of Supervisors, Mississippi (sealed bid due October 19, 2026) requested erosion control measures on New Zion Road under an NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection program. The City of Augusta, Georgia (bids due September 29, 2026) sought annual erosion and sedimentation control services across city and county jurisdictions. Additional opportunities appear in municipal stormwater infrastructure (Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation with bioretention basin installation; City of Marietta roundabout with erosion control and grading) and in cooperative purchasing pilots (Atlanta BeltLine, Inc. informational sessions in May 2026 for trail-corridor construction including erosion-control trades). Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department established a short-list of pre-qualified landscaping and erosion-control materials vendors (SOQ28626, due May 27, 2026) for five-year project-by-project purchasing of geosynthetics, sediment controls, and storm management products.
