NIGP 03133: Duct, Fabricated, Metal

NIGP 03133 Duct, Fabricated, Metal is an Item code that captures state and local procurement of custom metal ducting systems for HVAC installation, repair, and replacement work. Recent opportunities under this code show jurisdictions buying duct repair and fabrication services as part of broader facilities maintenance and building systems management. The Orlando Utilities Commission's Preferred Contractor Network (PCN) Program, posted April 6, 2026, explicitly lists HVAC/Duct Repair as one of 17 qualified contractor disciplines, indicating that utilities and municipal service providers regularly solicit specialized duct work. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal utilities, county facilities departments, and special-purpose districts; the OUC posting demonstrates that utilities managing residential and commercial customer portfolios maintain standing contractor pools for duct services. The PCN structure—where contractors register, pay a per-discipline fee, and remain available for occasional assignment—represents a common state and local approach to managing recurring but unpredictable duct maintenance demand.

Geographic activity under NIGP 03133 centers on Florida and the broader Southeast based on the most recent visible opportunities. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' March 2026 ITB for galvanized steel pallets and the OUC's April 2026 PCN registration represent core procurement activity in that region, though the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 (Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) suggests that duct-related disciplines may appear within broader multi-jurisdiction cooperative frameworks serving multiple states. The lack of a dedicated recent standalone duct fabrication or supply solicitation in the source suggests that NIGP 03133 activity flows primarily through component selection within larger HVAC or facilities renovation RFPs rather than as standalone commodity buys; firms pursuing this code should monitor facilities modernization, school district HVAC upgrades, and utility infrastructure maintenance notices where duct work forms part of the scope.
