NIGP 03178: Roof Ventilators, Power Driven (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP 03178 Roof Ventilators, Power Driven (Including Recycled Types) is an Item code. State and local governments procure under this code primarily as components within larger roofing projects, HVAC system replacements, and facility maintenance contracts rather than as standalone ventilation equipment purchases. Recent solicitations show the code appears as a subordinate line item in comprehensive roof replacement, rooftop mechanical renovation, and preventative maintenance work — energy recovery ventilators feature in the City of Augusta's detention center ventilator repair (ITB 26-177, sealed bids due October 9, 2026) and Brighton Area Schools' rooftop mechanical replacement that calls for two energy recovery ventilators alongside chiller and cooling tower installation (proposals due July 30, 2026). The City of Charlotte's boiler and chiller maintenance RFP (proposals due October 15, 2026) and San Jacinto College's roof repair and waterproofing RFP (RFP 26-19, proposals due August 20, 2026) reflect demand for ventilation component service and repair alongside primary roofing work.

Issuing bodies active under this code span city departments, county facilities management, community colleges, school districts, and transit authorities. City of Tucson, City of Charlotte, City of Augusta, and City of Phoenix all posted roofing-related solicitations in the recent period, alongside San Jacinto College District, Brighton Area Schools, Harris County Precinct 2, and Pasco County. Geographic activity concentrates in the South, Southwest, and Midwest — Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. The most direct representative opportunity is the City of Augusta's energy recovery ventilator repair ITB for the Charles B. Webster Detention Center, involving removal and replacement of major mechanical and electrical components on two Trane ERV units, with lump-sum pricing due October 9, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., and an optional pre-bid site visit available by September 24, 2026. MBE/WBE compliance documentation is required.
