NIGP 76060: Rippers and Scarifiers

NIGP 76060 Rippers and Scarifiers, an Item code, encompasses equipment and machinery used for breaking up, loosening, or removing pavement, soil, and other hardened surfaces—notably partial depth recycling (PDR) machinery and pavement rehabilitation equipment—as reflected in recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments procure these assets directly for infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation projects, and they appear in cooperative purchasing frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments, which use these resources for comprehensive pavement and roadway restoration work. The code sees activity from mixed issuing bodies that leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles to establish equipment solutions across multiple participating entities.

Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, solicited as ITB ITBRDAFY260694 with bids due May 21, 2026, exemplifies the practical scope: the county sought labor, materials, and equipment for partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, and related improvements along a major corridor. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 due June 16, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and numerous other jurisdictions. The Sourcewell procurement demonstrates the code's role in framework agreements that establish standardized contracting solutions for equipment across multiple states and entity types. Recent activity is concentrated in the West and Midwest, with California and Washington jurisdictions visible in the current opportunity set.
