NIGP 15027: Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Wood

NIGP Item 15027, Doors, Frames, and Jambs, Wood, encompasses removal, replacement, and installation of wood door systems and associated frames and hardware across state and local facilities. State and local governments procure this Item most commonly through discrete school facility upgrades, municipal building maintenance programs, wastewater treatment facility repairs, and preventive maintenance contracts at colleges and universities. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (San Antonio ISD, Holyoke Public Schools, Tooele County School District, City of Lawrence Public Schools), county facilities (Gwinnett County, Clay County, Washington County, Tooele County), cities (Bridgeport, Wellfleet, Lawrence), state university systems (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ocean County College), and special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Unified Fire Authority, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District). San Antonio ISD emerges as a repeat buyer, posting continuous open-ended general maintenance RFPs multiple times since February 2026 that explicitly include door and frame installation and repair among their trade categories. Scope of work under this Item ranges from single-building door replacements to district-wide as-needed maintenance contracts, with representative recent opportunities including Holyoke Public Schools' removal and installation of new doors and hardware at two school buildings (quotes due July 21, 2026), Sandwich Housing Authority's replacement of shed doors with new hardware and trim in Massachusetts (bids due August 5, 2026, estimated cost $46,010), and City of Bridgeport's furnish-and-install of FRP doors with city-standard hardware at Black Rock School (sealed bids due May 20, 2026, through OpenGov portal).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (San Antonio ISD repeat postings, Bexar County), Massachusetts (Holyoke, Sandwich, Wellfleet, Lawrence communities), and California (University of Wisconsin-Madison posting, though most California activity involves overhead and roll-up doors rather than wood frames). Secondary activity appears in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and Ohio. The bulk of recent solicitations employ RFQ, RFB, and ITB notice types for discrete projects or term contracts, with response windows typically four to six weeks. Prevailing wage requirements apply in several jurisdictions (Massachusetts, Connecticut, California) and are consistently triggered by project values above $15,000 to $25,000. Work is almost exclusively performed during normal business hours at school and municipal facilities. No recent federal set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions are noted in the source block; state-level SWMBE and DVBE programs apply selectively to California Caltrans procurements and Texas SAISD awards. Insurance and bonding requirements, when specified, follow standard commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence minimum) and performance bond protocols for contracts exceeding $25,000.
