NIGP 76564: Spreaders, Self-Propelled (for Aggregates, Sand, etc.)

NIGP 76564 Spreaders, Self-Propelled (For Aggregates, Sand, Etc.), an Item code, covers commercial snow and ice control spreaders and related de-icing equipment that state and local transportation authorities procure to replace aging fleet assets. The recent opportunity block shows the code in active use for capital equipment replacement — specifically multi-unit spreader purchases paired with complementary sprayer equipment on a rotating replacement schedule. State and local buyers under this code include county toll road authorities, county public works departments, and transit authorities managing winter maintenance fleets. The Harris County Toll Road Authority, which recently issued an Invitation for Bid (ITB) in May 2026, exemplifies the issuing-body profile: a toll or transportation authority replacing an aging fleet (in Harris County's case, four commercial snow and ice control spreaders as part of a broader sprayer and spreader equipment refresh).

Activity appears concentrated in regions with winter weather demands and significant transportation infrastructure. The Harris County Toll Road Authority solicitation (ITB 250185, due June 15, 2026) represents the primary recent concrete opportunity under this code, calling for delivery of new, unused, current production spreaders from Henderson as the single-source manufacturer, with firm pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis, one-year warranty, and a one-year initial contract term with six optional one-year renewals. Pricing must be all-inclusive, delivery is required within 14 calendar days of purchase order, and the vendor must maintain local account management with four-hour response time for urgent issues. The solicitation imposes Harris County's $21.65 per hour minimum wage requirement (effective July 1, 2025, with annual adjustments) for workers directly assigned to the contract, mandatory insurance including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and umbrella coverage, and HUB/MWBE subcontractor disclosure requirements. No other recent state or local spreader-specific opportunities appear in the source block; the law enforcement and pavement rehabilitation solicitations are unrelated to this code.
