NIGP 76536: Gunite Machines

NIGP 76536 Gunite Machines, an Item code, encompasses equipment and machinery used in law enforcement, construction, and infrastructure projects. State and local governments solicit under this code for specialized equipment procurement through both direct purchases and cooperative purchasing frameworks. The issuing bodies include counties, state cooperative purchasing units (such as Sourcewell), and specialized jurisdictions managing infrastructure projects. Solicitations under this code typically bundle equipment procurement with broader service categories, as evidenced by recent opportunities framed around law enforcement equipment supply and construction equipment for highway and bridge projects rather than gunite-specific machinery alone.

Recent activity shows Santa Clara County, California posting multiple infrastructure ITBs in early 2026 — the Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement Project (due March 5, 2026), Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements (due April 23, 2026), and Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation (due May 21, 2026) — all requiring contractors to supply labor, materials, and equipment for construction and roadway work. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing unit, issued an RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across Washington and other jurisdictions. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara County) and the upper Midwest through the Sourcewell cooperative, which serves thousands of public entities nationwide. These opportunities typically require sealed physical bid submissions, include mandatory pre-bid conferences for complex infrastructure work, specify prevailing wage and federal compliance requirements where federal funds are involved, and demand completion timelines ranging from 45 to 142 working days.
