NIGP 96862: Pavement Data Collection Services

NIGP 96862 Pavement Data Collection Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure automated pavement condition assessment, asset inventory, and infrastructure management services to evaluate the physical state of road networks and develop maintenance and rehabilitation priorities. The work encompasses Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings using standardized methodologies such as ASTM D6433, mobile LiDAR and imagery-based data collection, International Roughness Index (IRI) measurement, GIS layer development and integration, and software-as-a-service platforms for ongoing asset management. Recent solicitations show cities and counties—including mid-sized and large municipalities—issuing RFPs and RFQs to establish comprehensive condition assessments and data collection agreements, often coupled with software licensing and three-year support terms. Issuing bodies range from city departments of mobility and public works to county transportation authorities. The code appears active across multiple states, with recent procurement concentrated in Georgia (Forest Park, Sandersville, DeKalb County), Florida (Tampa, DeBary), Colorado (Boulder County), and California (Santa Clara County).
