NIGP 84512: Falling Weight Deflectometer System (Pavement Loading Device)

NIGP 84512 Falling Weight Deflectometer System (Pavement Loading Device) is an Item code describing portable pavement-testing and structural-assessment equipment used by state and local transportation departments to measure road surface deflection and evaluate pavement integrity. State and local governments procure deflectometer systems and related pavement-analysis services to support infrastructure maintenance planning, condition assessment, and rehabilitation prioritization on their road networks. The issuing bodies for this code are primarily county and municipal public works departments and state transportation agencies responsible for managing paved road systems and making data-driven decisions about when to conduct maintenance, repair, or full reconstruction.

Recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse. A single recent opportunity posted by Brevard County Purchasing Services on behalf of the Public Works Department (Bid Number B22608, due November 5, 2025) solicits pavement maintenance and rehabilitative services across approximately 1,150 miles of paved roads in Brevard County, Florida, with an estimated annual treatment of 100 miles and budgeted funding of approximately $900,000 for pavement management services in fiscal year 2026. The solicitation emphasizes traditional maintenance methods—chip seal, fog seal, cape seal, micro-surfacing, in-place recycling, full depth reclamation, crack sealing, and rejuvenating scrub seal—rather than pavement-deflection testing equipment or services. No other state or local solicitations for deflectometer systems or pavement-testing equipment appear in the recent-opportunities block, suggesting limited direct procurement activity for this commodity at the state and local level during the recent period.
