NIGP 03179: Roof Ventilators, Wind Driven (Including Recycled Types)

NIGP 03179, Roof Ventilators, Wind Driven (Including Recycled Types), is an Item code that captures state and local procurement of roofing components and ventilation repair services, though recent solicitation activity reveals that state and local bodies are acquiring these items primarily as part of broader roof replacement, refurbishment, and maintenance contracts rather than as standalone wind-driven ventilator units. The City of Tucson solicited an extensive catalog of roofing parts and supplies on an indefinite-quantity basis in September 2026, including stocked and special-order materials; the City of Augusta, Georgia issued an ITB in September 2026 for energy recovery ventilator repair at a detention center involving removal and replacement of major mechanical and electrical components on Trane ERV units; and the City of Charlotte requested proposals for preventative maintenance and repair services on boiler and chiller systems at transit facilities in September 2026. Beyond these component-level procurements, the recent activity block also contains multiple roof replacement contracts—from City Colleges of Chicago, the City of Phoenix, Howard County Board of Education, San Jacinto College, the City of Tarpon Springs, Pasco County, the City of Madison, Houston Independent School District, and the City of College Park—though these are primarily roofing membrane and material replacements (TPO, EPDM, cedar shake, asphalt shingle, and metal systems) rather than ventilator-specific acquisitions. Issuing bodies span city and county governments, independent school districts, community colleges, and specialized transit authorities across Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Texas, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Maryland.

Recent opportunities grounded in actual ventilator or ventilation component work include the City of Augusta's ITB 26-177 for energy recovery ventilator repair (bids due October 9, 2026), which explicitly covers ERV-1H and ERV-1G Trane units requiring removal and replacement of major mechanical and electrical components, belt and pulley alignment, electrical terminations, motor operation verification, and startup checks; and the City of Tucson's roofing supplies catalog solicitation (due August 7, 2026, reposted September 25, 2026), which encompasses both stocked and special-order roofing materials on an indefinite-quantity contract subject to ARPA compliance, domestic preference for U.S.-manufactured goods, and maximum use of EPA-designated recovered materials. The broader roofing market—evident in the Howard County Board of Education's IFB 020.27.B9 (technical bids due September 23, 2026, with 29% MBE participation goals and five-year experience requirement) and the City of College Park's RFP for complete roof replacement at the Georgia International Convention Center—is active and fragmented across geographies, though ventilator-specific repair and replacement work appears concentrated in municipal facilities and detention centers rather than distributed across standard roof replacement projects.
