NIGP 765: Road and Highway Equipment (Except Equipment in Classes 755 and 760)

NIGP 765 Road and Highway Equipment (Except Equipment in Classes 755 and 760), a Class code, encompasses heavy-duty vehicles, attachments, and mechanical systems that state and local governments deploy for road construction, maintenance, and preservation—including dump trucks, compactors, spreaders, sweepers, graders, asphalt pavers, and specialized attachments such as grapple bodies, snow-plow blades, and rotary cutters. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities acquiring tractor attachments for conservation work, compact wheeled excavators for multipurpose field operations, street sweeping services across multiple jurisdictions, heavy equipment and truck repair contracts, and large-scale pavement rehabilitation projects spanning miles of roadway. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments (Hillsborough County, Broward County, Orange County, Santa Clara County), city fleet and public works divisions (Fort Myers, San Angelo, Wichita, Palm Bay, Tucson), state departments of transportation (Maine DOT, NHDOT, Michigan Department of Technology), toll authorities (Harris County Toll Road Authority), and transit authorities. The mix skews toward larger counties and cities with established fleet maintenance and capital equipment procurement operations, though smaller municipalities and specialized districts (conservation agencies, regional parks authorities) participate in single-unit purchases or specialized attachments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, Broward County, Orange County, Palm Bay, Sarasota County, Lee County), New Hampshire (multiple NHDOT procurements), and California (Santa Clara County, City of Tucson, City of Milpitas), with additional recent solicitations in Maine, Michigan, Connecticut, Kentucky, Kansas, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for three John Deere 4075R tractor attachments (tandem disk harrow, rotary cutter, rotary tiller) for conservation site maintenance, estimated at $17,175.00 with a challenge deadline of October 20, 2026; Beaufort County's IFB for one compact wheeled excavator with multipurpose tool-carrier capabilities, responses due October 21, 2026, emphasizing S/MBE participation; and Orange County, Florida's Y26-181 sealed-bid solicitation for supply and installation of traffic signal equipment, estimated at $20 million over five years with a July 21, 2026 deadline. Hillsborough County has posted multiple solicitations for road maintenance equipment, including ITB-26-00408 for street sweeping services covering seventeen municipalities (estimated $1.564 million over two years, bids due October 2, 2026) and ITB-26-00394 for various construction-road maintenance vehicles including dump trucks, grapple vehicles, and asphalt rollers (estimated $4.351 million, bids due September 30, 2026). Broward County is actively procuring roadway widening and resurfacing work on Royal Palm Boulevard (bids due September 14, 2026) and the Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion project with mandatory 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation (bids due June 2, 2026). New Hampshire's procurement activity includes RFBs for snow-plow equipment, hydraulic spreaders, and liquid pre-wet systems, with deadlines in May and June 2026. Bidders in this space compete on equipment specifications, manufacturer authorization, delivery timelines, warranty terms, insurance compliance, and—on construction and preservation contracts—DBE/CBE participation targets, prevailing wage adherence, and bonding requirements.
