NIGP 76536: Gunite Machines

NIGP 76536 Gunite Machines is an Item code reflecting state and local procurement of specialized construction equipment for pavement and surface rehabilitation work. State and local governments acquire gunite and related spray-applied concrete systems through this code to support infrastructure repair, particularly partial-depth recycling, concrete overlay, and pavement restoration projects. The issuing bodies in recent activity span county transportation departments and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government service cooperative, and Santa Clara County both issued solicitations in the second quarter of 2026 drawing on this equipment class, though the specific equipment specifications vary significantly by project scope and technical requirements.

Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB RDAFY260694), due May 21, 2026, exemplifies the practical application of this code — the County sought comprehensive pavement rehabilitation including partial depth recycling and hot mix asphalt overlay between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard in San Jose, California, with a 142 working-day completion window. Sourcewell's broader Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (response due June 16, 2026) represents a statewide and multi-state cooperative contracting vehicle serving thousands of public entities across Washington, Minnesota, and beyond, though the specific breakdown of gunite-equipment components within that framework is not detailed in available documentation. Recent activity concentrates in the West and Upper Midwest; no set-aside designations, incumbent vendor identification, or budget ranges appear in the posted materials.
