NIGP 76084: Scrapers

NIGP 76084 Scrapers, an Item code, covers site preparation and earthmoving equipment rental and operation—specifically the heavy machinery, materials handling, and construction labor that state and local governments buy to clear, grade, compact, and restore ground surfaces for infrastructure projects. Based on recent solicitations, governments under this code are procuring scrapers, graders, and related equipment as part of larger general contracting packages for road construction, pavement rehabilitation, bridge replacement, and recreational access development. The issuing bodies are primarily county governments and tribal authorities, with one cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) establishing framework contracts for multiple jurisdictions. Work spans site excavation and material movement, asphalt overlay and pavement resurfacing, guardrail and drainage installation, and post-construction site restoration including seeding and mulching.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Michigan, with secondary activity in Georgia and Arizona.
