NIGP 12025: Bridges, Passenger Loading

NIGP 12025 Bridges, Passenger Loading is an Item code covering the procurement, design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and replacement of passenger loading bridges (PLBs) and related passenger boarding infrastructure. State and local governments buy design and engineering services for new pedestrian bridges and PLBs; turn-key manufacturing, delivery, and installation of PLBs for airport terminals; emergency and routine bridge replacement; precast or prestressed concrete bridge materials and components; and repairs to bridge support structures. The issuing-body mix spans city departments of aviation, county transportation departments, special-purpose transit and beltline authorities, and county public works offices. Recent solicitations indicate concurrent activity across replacement projects, new bridge construction, engineering design services, and equipment component procurement.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and Mississippi.
