NIGP 76546: Pile Drivers and Accessories

NIGP 76546 Pile Drivers And Accessories is an Item code covering the procurement and installation of structural piles and associated equipment for construction projects across state and local jurisdictions. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for specialized marine and terrestrial pile installation services, galvanized steel piles with rock socketing for waterfront infrastructure, and pile-driving equipment and accessories integrated into larger bridge replacement, roadway, and marine facility projects. State and local purchasing offices, county transportation and public works departments, state parks and recreation agencies, and municipal public works divisions are the primary issuing bodies. The State of Washington Department of Parks and Recreation, Santa Clara County, and the City of Watsonville represent active buyers in this space, with work ranging from marine mammal-monitored pile installation at state parks to bridge replacement and safety barrier projects requiring pile foundations and structural support systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in California and Washington, with representative solicitations including the State of Washington's Sucia Island Marine State Park floating pumpout station project (RFQ NWBC043, due June 16, 2026), which seeks pile procurement and installation with rock socketing to 10-foot bedrock embedment and compliance with IBC and AISC 341 standards; Santa Clara County's Red Fox Creek Bridge #37C0172 replacement (ITB ITBRDAFY260559, due March 5, 2026), requiring CIDH pile foundations and precast concrete bridge construction within 140 working days; and the City of Watsonville's Safer Access to Pajaro Valley High School project (sealed bid due March 11, 2026, estimated $11 million), which includes bridge structural widening and pedestrian safety improvements. Activity reflects infrastructure modernization and environmental compliance priorities, with marine projects requiring protected species monitoring and federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, and terrestrial projects emphasizing ADA accessibility, stormwater management integration, and project labor agreements.
