NIGP 76580: Tampers (Except Pneumatic) and Vibrating Flat Plate Compactors (see 765-49 for Pneumatic Tampers)

NIGP 76580, Tampers (Except Pneumatic) And Vibrating Flat Plate Compactors, is an Item code under which state and local governments procure compaction equipment for road construction and rehabilitation projects. The code captures handheld and self-propelled compactors used in pavement work, particularly for asphalt and base-course preparation where pneumatic tools are not specified. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies acquiring compaction equipment as part of broader infrastructure rehabilitation contracts that bundle labor, materials, and equipment procurement together, rather than as standalone equipment buys.

Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) illustrates the demand: the county solicited qualified contractors to supply labor, materials, and equipment for comprehensive pavement rehabilitation between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, including partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, and related work. The project required completion within 142 working days from notice of award. Geographic activity under this code centers on California, where significant pavement rehabilitation and transportation infrastructure work drives demand for compaction equipment. The Santa Clara County solicitation represents the profile of typical buyers under NIGP 76580 — county transportation and public works departments managing regional roadway improvements that incorporate equipment procurement as a line item within broader infrastructure contracts.
