NIGP 96862: Pavement Data Collection Services

NIGP 96862 Pavement Data Collection Services, an Item code, captures state and local procurement for on-the-ground road surface condition surveys, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) assessments using ASTM D6433 methodology, and delivery of structured pavement inventory data in GIS-compatible formats with associated photography and asset management software integration. Recent solicitations show county and municipal transportation departments buying comprehensive baseline pavement assessments that feed into long-term asset management systems, with deliverables including segment-level PCI ratings, distress documentation, georeferenced imagery at regular intervals, and road-network segmentation. The work typically spans 60 to 831 centerline miles per engagement and requires vendors to integrate collected data into jurisdiction-specific systems such as OpenGov Asset Management or Esri GIS platforms. Issuing bodies are primarily counties and cities conducting first-time or periodic pavement inventories; repeat activity appears concentrated among county public works departments and municipal transportation divisions managing large municipal road networks.

Recent activity spans multiple states with notable concentration in Georgia and Florida. Boulder County Public Works (Colorado) issued RFP-319-26 for pavement condition assessment of 382 miles of paved county roads, responses due November 19, 2026, with cost weighted at 60 percent of evaluation and payment contingent on county verification of PCI scoring. Clay County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited qualifications under RFQ 2526115 for a comprehensive pavement condition survey and pavement management program covering 831 centerline miles, with responses due October 15, 2026, and a contract value anticipated at $200,000 or less.
