NIGP 96154 Milling Services: Asphalt, Grain, Cottonseed, Vegetable, Wood, Etc., Item code, encompasses asphalt milling and resurfacing work that state and local governments procure across roadway rehabilitation, parking lot improvements, and intersection upgrades.

The mix leans heavily toward municipal public works departments managing street and parking facility maintenance, though school districts (Hillsborough County) and state agencies (Illinois Secretary of State, Georgia Department of Veterans Service) also participate. Repeat buyers in the recent block include Gwinnett County, which issued multiple parking lot improvement RFQs between May and September 2026, and the City of Fort Myers, which solicited both RFP 26-097 for mill-and-replace asphalt packages and ITB 26-070 with similar scope in August and September.
