NIGP 76549: Pneumatic Machines: Demolition Tools, Paving Breakers, Rock Cutters, Tampers, etc. (see 765-80 for Non-Pneumatic Tampers)

NIGP 76549 Pneumatic Machines: Demolition Tools, Paving Breakers, Rock Cutters, Tampers, Etc., an Item code, encompasses heavy demolition equipment and pneumatic-powered tools that state and local governments procure for structural demolition, site clearance, and related construction activities. Recent state and local solicitations show municipalities and special-purpose authorities acquiring demolition services—building removal, foundation extraction, hazardous-material abatement, and site restoration—rather than purchasing pneumatic tools as standalone commodities. The code reflects activity primarily among city public works departments, county transportation agencies, state departments of transportation, school districts, and special-purpose districts such as water authorities and waste management authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) soliciting demolition and clearance services in San Joaquin County and San Luis Obispo County under IFB 10A2920 (bids due July 30, 2026) and IFB 05A3033 (bids due August 6, 2026), respectively; the California High-Speed Rail Authority requesting clearance and demolition services in Hanford under IFB HSR26-24 (bids due September 2, 2026); Provo City School District bidding site and building demolition of Dixon Middle School (bids due June 24, 2026); and the Town of Hilton Head Island and City of Marietta, Georgia each posting multiple demolition and facility-improvement RFBs and IFBs between May and October 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Utah, South Carolina, and Texas, with California Caltrans offices and state transportation authorities representing the highest-frequency buyers. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction: California procurements typically carry Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise goals with 5 percent price preferences for certified small businesses; Maryland Environmental Service designates procurements as Small Business Reserve with 15 percent minority business enterprise participation goals; Florida and Georgia apply disadvantaged business enterprise and local-vendor preferences; and Pennsylvania requires prevailing wage compliance and Public Works Employment Verification Act adherence. Demolition scopes universally include hazardous-material testing and abatement (asbestos, lead paint, PCBs), utility disconnection and capping, foundation removal, debris disposal, environmental remediation, stormwater pollution prevention planning, and site restoration, with contract values ranging from under $50,000 (City of Philadelphia jackhammer micro purchase, $45,000 ceiling) to $6.2 million (Orange County, Florida bridge replacement). No recent opportunities for standalone pneumatic tool purchases appear in the source block; procurement activity under this code is dominated by comprehensive demolition and clearance services rather than equipment acquisition.
