NIGP 76521: Culvert Cleaning Equipment

NIGP 76521 Culvert Cleaning Equipment, an Item code, encompasses specialized machinery and equipment that state and local governments deploy to inspect, clean, and maintain culvert systems serving drainage and stormwater infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties procuring trailer-mounted jetter equipment, precast concrete culvert sections, and comprehensive drainage system investigation and repair services including CCTV inspection, pipe cleaning, and vacuuming capabilities. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, county transportation and drainage authorities, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing vehicles; Williamson County (Texas), the City of Owensboro (Kentucky), the City of Kingman (Arizona), Bergen County (New Jersey), Santa Clara County (California), and the City of Brownsville (Texas) all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this code in the past four months. Scope ranges from single equipment acquisitions—the Texas Department of Transportation's Paris District jetter trailer procurement—to comprehensive service contracts where municipalities contract for equipment operators, materials, and crews to perform cleaning, inspection, and remediation work in-house or via vendor-provided teams.
