NIGP 13546: Molding, Brick

NIGP 13546 Molding, Brick is an Item code describing masonry units and brick facade components that state and local governments procure as part of construction and renovation projects. Recent activity shows municipalities soliciting brick and concrete masonry assemblies primarily for infrastructure enclosures and utility structures, typically as part of design-build or general construction packages rather than as standalone material purchases. The issuing bodies are city public works departments and county purchasing operations, suggesting this code captures relatively specialized construction work rather than high-volume commodity procurement.

The City of Marietta, Georgia issued a design-build RFP (PE63363NONST2027000000032, response due October 22, 2026) for a dumpster enclosure at 90 Hansell Street featuring concrete masonry units with brick facade, a shed roof, and metal gates for accommodating nine front-load dumpsters, with construction anticipated to begin January 4, 2027 on a 90-day timeline. The project structure is typical of the code's current activity—a single primary solicitation from a municipal source with a defined scope, bonding and insurance requirements, and evaluation criteria weighted toward cost (30%), timeline (20%), rendering (20%), prior experience (15%), and references (15%). The broader regional signal is limited; available records show activity concentrated in Georgia and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, response due June 16, 2026) covering multiple Pacific Northwest counties and national jurisdictions, though that opportunity lies outside the molding and brick scope and does not reflect direct purchasing demand under this code.
