NIGP 12041: Gates, Safety, Marine

NIGP 12041 Gates, Safety, Marine is an Item code encompassing installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement of gate systems—including electric gate operators, access control components, overhead doors, and marine or industrial gates—that state and local governments procure for facility access control, water infrastructure, and specialized maritime applications. Recent solicitations show counties and special districts buying on-call gate and overhead door maintenance contracts, competitive equipment purchases for water treatment facilities, and construction projects involving gate replacement in correctional facilities and marine environments. Work spans routine preventive maintenance and emergency repairs across multiple facilities to specialized installations at water plants and ports, as well as standalone construction projects for gate system replacements. Issuing bodies include county general services and parks departments, county boards of commissioners overseeing corrections and public works, water authorities, and port operators. San Mateo County Parks Department appears twice in recent activity, seeking on-call gate installation and repair services; Solano County General Services procured comprehensive overhead door and gate maintenance across 11 facilities; and Collin County sought specialized sprinkler head replacement (fire suppression gates) in a detention facility.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida. Representative solicitations include Collin County, Texas issuing an IFB for institutional sprinkler head replacement at the county jail (bids due November 19, 2026, estimated cost $150,000); San Mateo County Parks Department requesting RFQ quotations for on-call gate and overhead door services including electric operators and solar-powered systems (due August 12, 2026); Solano County General Services issuing IFB 910-0418-26 for overhead door and gate maintenance across Vallejo, Fairfield, and Vacaville facilities under contract through June 30, 2026 with potential two-year renewals; and Gwinnett County, Georgia seeking sealed bids for four replacement 108-inch slide gates for the Lanier Filter Plant with AWWA compliance required (bids due May 1, 2026).
