NIGP 15036: Hatch Covers, Attic

NIGP 15036 Hatch Covers, Attic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure access covers and closures for attic and vault openings. Recent solicitations show that this code captures purchases of aluminum vault lids and related attic access hardware as part of broader facility maintenance and residential rehabilitation work. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include counties and municipal authorities. State and local governments use this code to source standardized metal covers for utility access points, attic hatches, and similar openings where durable, weatherproof closures are required.

Activity under the code spans the South and Southeast, with recent solicitations posted in Florida and Texas as well as California. Riverside County (California) issued RFB-WM-3959 for aluminum vault lids with a proposal deadline of August 21, 2026, as a competitive Request for Bid; the solicitation did not specify contract value, scope quantities, or detailed specifications. Clay County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) included attic ladder replacement as part of a broader residential rehabilitation RFQ under CDBG funding (2526038), issued February 13, 2026, which incorporated building access and closure work alongside carpentry, electrical, and plumbing services. The code sees episodic rather than continuous procurement activity from state and local jurisdictions, suggesting that attic cover and vault lid purchases are typically bundled into larger facility or construction projects rather than procured as standalone commodity purchases.
