NIGP 15025: Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Steel

NIGP 15025 Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Steel, Item tier, encompasses furnishing and installation of commercial-grade hollow metal and sectional steel doors with frames, hardware, and operators across municipal, school district, county, and state transportation facilities, with state and local procurement activity concentrated in Georgia, Florida, California, and Connecticut over the past four months. State and local governments under this code procure both commodity-level door assemblies (16-gauge hollow metal double-door pairs with specified hardware for airport and facility use) and integrated door-and-operator systems for specialized applications such as fire station apparatus bays, school entries, and correctional facilities. Issuers range from small cities (Milton, Georgia; Bridgeport, Connecticut) and school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Florida; Saline Area Schools, Michigan) to county governments (Solano County, California; Santa Clara County, California; Broward County, Florida), state departments of transportation (Caltrans, California), and state correctional authorities (Florida Department of Corrections). The mix reflects distributed, facilities-based procurement across general operations, public safety, and capital modernization projects rather than concentrated demand.

Recent opportunities exemplify the breadth of applications. The City of Milton issued ITB 27-FD01 in October 2026 seeking removal and replacement of ten high-speed roll-up apparatus bay doors and operators at two fire stations, with bids due November 4, 2026, requiring lump-sum pricing, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price, and successful completion of three similar projects in the prior five years. Pinellas County School District released two overlapping solicitations (26-AM-020 and 26-AM-022) for commercial doors and frames with annual contract values around $250,000, fire-rated and non-rated steel options, annual usage quantities up to 60,480 square inches, and firm pricing for contract periods extending through November 2027. Caltrans issued multiple IFBs and IFPQs (08A4032, 08A4033, 08A4045, 08A4046) for commercial industrial door removal and replacement at San Bernardino County maintenance stations, restricted to California-certified small businesses, micro businesses, or disabled veteran business enterprises, with bids ranging up to $484,000 and prevailing wage and bonding requirements kicking in at $15,000 and $25,000 thresholds respectively. The City of Houston Airport System posted two quotations for 16-gauge hollow metal double-door assemblies with detailed hardware specifications (Roton, Hager, Norton, and ASA components) and delivery in early October 2026. Geographic activity clusters in California (state transportation), Florida (school districts, county facilities, airports), and Georgia (municipal fire operations), with additional proceedings in Connecticut, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Colorado. Set-asides and local preferences appear in Caltrans procurements (small-business restrictions), Pinellas County Schools (5 percent Florida business preference, 75-mile supplier location requirement), and Events DC (35 percent certified business enterprise set-aside for door replacement at a convention center). Performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage compliance, and contractor licensing (California C-61 and D-28 for Caltrans; Florida Chapter 75-489 for ballistic doors) are material requirements across multiple issuers.
