NIGP 15027: Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Wood

NIGP 15027 Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Wood, an Item code, covers replacement and installation of wood doors, frames, and associated hardware across state and local facilities, primarily in fire stations, schools, municipal buildings, and specialized institutional settings. Recent solicitations show state and local government buying high-speed roll-up apparatus bay doors with operators for fire stations, laminated wood doors with aluminum frames for airports and institutional facilities, commercial interior and exterior wood doors with hardware and frames for school districts and municipal properties, and exterior wood double doors and storefront systems for educational and special-purpose facilities. The work spans removal of existing systems, furnishing new wood door assemblies with frames and hardware, installation, electrical coordination where automatic operators are involved, testing, and post-installation maintenance or warranty support. Issuing bodies include city fire departments, county and independent school districts, state transportation departments, municipal public works facilities, and special-purpose districts such as housing authorities and fire rescue authorities. Pinellas County School District has posted multiple solicitations for commercial doors and frames under this code, establishing itself as a repeat buyer; San Antonio Independent School District has issued continuous, open-ended maintenance and repairs solicitations; and Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has solicited both interior and exterior door replacements. State departments such as Caltrans and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, along with county governments and municipal procurement offices across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, round out the issuing-body mix.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, Texas, Maryland, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Milton, Georgia posting ITB 27-FD01 for fire station apparatus bay door replacement (ten high-speed roll-up doors at two locations, bids due November 4, 2026); the Houston Airport System soliciting bids for four laminated wood doors with aluminum frames and hardware (due October 7, 2026); Pinellas County School District issuing RFP 26AM020 for commercial doors and frames with sealed electronic bids due September 23, 2026, and sample submission required; the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind posting RFP-27-029 for exterior door and storefront replacement across three campus buildings (proposals due September 3, 2026); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut soliciting bids for exterior door replacement at Bryant School via ITB (due September 1, 2026); and Caltrans posting IFB 07A6421 for painting, window, door, and gutter services including replacement of three exterior doors in Los Angeles County (bids due May 28, 2026, with estimated contract value not to exceed $484,000). School districts dominate volume, but fire departments and municipal facilities management represent a distinct and active segment. Bid bonds, performance bonds, and insurance requirements are standard across higher-value procurements; prevailing wage applies in Davis-Bacon-funded federal-aid projects. Activity remains steady through the fourth quarter of 2026.
