NIGP 15020: Door Openers and Parts, Electric

NIGP 15020 Door Openers and Parts, Electric is an Item code capturing electric door operator supply and installation work that state and local governments solicit across facilities management, public safety, and accessibility compliance. State and local purchasers are acquiring electric door openers—standalone operators, automatic door systems, and ballistic-rated units—bundled with installation, maintenance, repair, and emergency response services. The work ranges from routine preventive maintenance and emergency repairs under annual requirements or term contracts to single project installations of new equipment at specific facilities. Issuing bodies include county general services departments, state transportation agencies, city public works and police departments, public colleges and universities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show repeat activity from Florida municipalities (City of Arlington, City of St. Petersburg, Pinellas County Schools, Florida Atlantic University), California state agencies (Caltrans, California Department of Consumer Affairs), and county facilities management offices across multiple states seeking to maintain or upgrade overhead doors, roll-up doors, and automatic entry systems at warehouses, parking structures, maintenance facilities, police headquarters, courthouses, and airports.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Texas, and the upper Midwest, with sporadic opportunities in the Northeast and Southeast. Representative recent work includes the City of Arlington, Texas soliciting an annual requirements contract for comprehensive overhead door maintenance and repair services (RFQ 260272, due July 23, 2026); the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County requesting bids for purchase, installation, testing, and repair of overhead doors and fire shutters on an as-needed basis (ITB 26-12/HV, due July 13, 2026); the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey issuing an invitation for bid for maintenance, installation, and repair of hydraulic, manual, and electronic rolling steel doors and high-speed fabric doors at Newark Liberty International Airport (IFB #6000003300, due May 18, 2026); and the California Department of Transportation procuring overhead door electric opening system replacement services across five counties (IFPQ 03A4139, due May 8, 2026, with a five percent small business enterprise set-aside). Pricing structures vary widely—time-and-materials rates with separate labor and emergency charges, annual flat fees by facility, unit costs per door location, and lump-sum bids for single installations. Vendor qualifications typically require minimum three to five years of relevant door operator or locksmith experience, current state licensing where required (California contractor licenses, Florida business registration), proof of insurance (general liability commonly $1 million to $25 million per occurrence depending on scope), and equipment-specific authorizations from manufacturers such as Schlage, Von Duprin, LCN, Dormakaba, or Lift Master. Many jurisdictions reference ADA compliance, OSHA or NFPA standards, and manufacturer specifications as performance baselines.
