NIGP 99887: Road and Highway Materials (Including Testing Equipment), Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP Item 99887, Road and Highway Materials (Including Testing Equipment), Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items, covers the acquisition of road construction materials, testing services for pavement and soil integrity, roadway widening and resurfacing work, and the sale or trade of surplus government property—grounded in what state and local governments are actively soliciting. Recent opportunities reveal a mix of direct material purchases (asphalt, concrete pipe, graded aggregates), on-call materials and field testing services (compressive strength testing, asphalt extraction and gradation analysis, soil cement mix designs, embankment compaction), and construction contracts that bundle materials with labor and equipment for complete roadway preservation, expansion, and culvert replacement projects.

Issuing bodies include county highway departments, municipalities, and special districts across the South and Texas. Broward County, Florida (Highway Construction and Engineering Division) appears twice in recent activity with major capacity-expansion and resurfacing contracts; Henry County, Georgia; the City of Cibolo, Texas; Hunt County, Texas; the City of Lubbock, Texas; the Town of Farragut, Tennessee; and the City of Dallas have all posted solicitations under this code since May 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia and Tennessee. Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Farragut's ITB 2026-24 for the South Monticello Road Culvert Replacement (corrugated metal storm pipe removal and 42-inch reinforced concrete pipe installation, bids due March 31, 2026), Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion invitation to bid (six-lane widening with shared-use path, bulkhead, and utility upgrades, response deadline June 2, 2026), and Henry County's RFQ 27-08 for on-call materials and field testing services with task-order-based pricing (qualifications due September 9, 2026). FDOT prequalification is a common eligibility requirement across Florida solicitations; GDOT prequalification gates Henry County activity. Set-asides vary by project: Pine Island Road carries a mandatory 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal; DBE affirmative action plan requirement applies to federal-aid work in Broward County; Farragut and Henry County specify no disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides.
