NIGP 01038: Clips, Pins, etc. (for Duct Insulation)

NIGP 01038 Clips, Pins, Etc. (For Duct Insulation), an Item code, covers fasteners, clips, and hardware used to secure and support duct insulation systems in commercial and institutional facilities. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger mechanical systems installations and retrofits, typically bundled with broader HVAC, building automation, or facility renovation projects rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies include county facilities departments, municipal public safety agencies, school districts, and special-purpose districts managing institutional buildings. Recent activity shows counties (Orange County, Florida; Harris County, Texas) and independent school districts soliciting related air duct accessories and maintenance supplies, though the isolated clip-and-pin category itself attracts limited direct procurement attention compared to the larger system components it supports.

Orange County, Florida issued an IFB (Y26-718) due October 20, 2026 for building automation system and smoke/fire alarm air duct accessories at the Corrections Booking and Release Center, valued at $2.89 million, encompassing replacement of fire/smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and air handling units with new controls and damper-mounting hardware; Harris County, Texas issued an ITB (solicitation 260246) due September 21, 2026 for sign posts and mounting hardware; and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued an IFB (IFB2026105) due August 6, 2026 for maintenance supplies and services. The code shows sparse direct procurement activity — most state and local opportunities frame duct clip and fastener work as subordinate line items within larger mechanical or structural projects rather than as standalone specifications. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida based on recent postings, with broader representation across school districts and county facilities nationwide.
