NIGP 77018: Cant Strips (Expansion Joint Fillers)

NIGP Item 77018 Cant Strips (Expansion Joint Fillers) represents construction and building materials used to seal and fill expansion joints in concrete, asphalt, and other rigid surfaces. State and local governments procure cant strips for infrastructure maintenance, road repairs, parking lot construction, building maintenance, and facility improvements across departments of transportation, public works, facilities management, and municipal services. The sourcing base for this commodity spans regional and national suppliers of construction materials, with orders ranging from small maintenance quantities to large-scale project volumes.

Activity under this Item code is currently limited in the state and local procurement record. No recent dedicated solicitations specifically naming cant strips appear in the available opportunities block. A single posted opportunity — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline — does not indicate cant strip procurement as part of its scope; this cooperative vehicle through Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit) targets law enforcement equipment for multiple Washington counties and thousands of public entities nationwide and in Canada. Without substantive recent activity specifically under this code, pursue this opportunity only if your firm is actively bidding Sourcewell cooperative contracts or if cant strips represent an ancillary component within broader construction material or janitorial supply offerings you already service through state and local channels. Monitor public works and transportation department procurement notices in your target jurisdictions for infrastructure maintenance and repair solicitations where cant strips may appear as line items within larger facility or roadway projects.
