NIGP 76508: Core Drilling Rigs and Accessories

NIGP 76508 Core Drilling Rigs And Accessories, an Item code, encompasses drilling equipment and related tools that state and local governments procure for infrastructure assessment, site investigation, and construction support. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures demand from municipalities and counties undertaking drainage improvements, pavement rehabilitation, and environmental remediation projects where subsurface drilling and core sampling support design and engineering phases. Issuing bodies under this code include city engineering departments and county transportation authorities managing capital improvement projects funded through state and federal grant programs such as the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans the Pacific Northwest and California, with posted opportunities from the City of Bend, Oregon and Santa Clara County, California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bend's South Awbrey Butte Drainage Improvements RFP (posted September 12, 2026, due October 9, 2026), which funds a $1.5 million design phase for drainage infrastructure addressing water-quality issues across a multi-block area, and Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project ITB (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026), which includes pavement recycling, asphalt overlay, and related improvements requiring subsurface assessment and drilling support over a 142-working-day completion window. Both solicitations reflect capital project delivery cycles where core drilling and subsurface investigation are embedded in the design and construction phases rather than standalone procurements.
