NIGP 76566: Spreaders, Truck Mounted (for Aggregates, Ice Control Materials, Seal Coatings, etc.)

NIGP 76566 Spreaders, Truck Mounted (For Aggregates, Ice Control Materials, Seal Coatings, Etc.), an Item code, covers self-contained or truck-mounted equipment designed to distribute granular ice-control materials, aggregates, and seal coatings on roadways. State and local governments are actively procuring truck-mounted spreader units for winter maintenance fleets, replacement of aging equipment, and related hopper and hydraulic components that support snow and ice control operations. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (Michigan, Kentucky, Texas), county toll authorities, and specialized public infrastructure districts. The mix spans large multi-year statewide vehicle buildout contracts and focused procurements for individual equipment components; spreader work often appears alongside broader winter maintenance and truck buildup initiatives. Issuing bodies treating this code as a high-value, recurring procurement category include the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, both of which have posted multiple opportunities for spreader equipment and assemblies within the past six months.

Recent representative opportunities reflect concentrated activity in the upper Midwest and Texas. The Michigan Department of Transportation is procuring 33 line items of winter maintenance truck buildup components—including ground speed-controlled salt spreader systems, combination dump and spreader bodies in 11-foot and 14-foot configurations, and associated hydraulic assemblies—under a multi-year optional-use contract (RFP 260000002057, proposals due July 2, 2026, with award recommended as of October 8, 2026). The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet posted two sequential solicitations for highway material spreaders: the first (RFB 60527000001311, October 9, 2026 deadline) specified six 13-cubic-yard and three 16-cubic-yard stainless steel hopper spreaders with dual augers and electric de-icing dispensers; the second (RFB 60527000001312, October 20, 2026 deadline) continued the pursuit. The Texas Department of Transportation is soliciting individual spreader components—specifically leg stands for V-box hopper-type spreaders—across two separate solicitations (601320000071369 and 601320000071370, responses through the Euna Procurement platform, October 20, 2026 deadline). The Harris County Toll Road Authority issued an ITB for four commercial snow and ice control spreaders on a one-year term with six optional renewals (ITB 250185, June 15, 2026). Activity concentrates in Michigan, Kentucky, Texas, and Utah, with additional specialist work in state vehicle fleets and toll road operations.
