NIGP 76060: Rippers and Scarifiers

NIGP 76060 Rippers And Scarifiers is an Item code that covers heavy equipment attachments and specialized machinery for ground preparation, soil remediation, and pavement work. State and local governments buy equipment and contracting services under this code to support road rehabilitation, site preparation, and infrastructure maintenance operations. The recent solicitations show that counties, cities, and special districts use this code to procure both standalone equipment (such as skid steers with mulching heads) and labor-and-materials contracts for pavement rehabilitation that incorporate ripper and scarifier functions as part of broader construction scopes. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments (Santa Clara County, Barrow County), municipal electric and maintenance divisions (City of Thomasville), and state cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating counties and municipalities across multiple states).

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. Santa Clara County has issued multiple ITBs for pavement rehabilitation and guardrail replacement projects between February and May 2026, including the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project Between Bowers Ave And Scott Blvd (ITB due May 21, 2026) and the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (ITB due April 23, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid conference on April 14, 2026), both incorporating partial depth recycling and pavement preparation work. Barrow County, Georgia issued a competitive sealed bid for Wynn Lake Road resurfacing (ITB PE77075NONST2026000000014, due March 18, 2026) covering approximately 2.56 miles of recycled asphalt patching and resurfacing. The City of Thomasville, Georgia solicited a skid steer with mulching head attachment (ITB #2026-203, due April 8, 2026) for use by its Electric department. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and other jurisdictions (due June 16, 2026), a broad-scope cooperative that may include equipment procurement relevant to this commodity class.
