NIGP 15046: Louvers (see Class 031 for Air Conditioning)

NIGP 15046 Louvers, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of louver assemblies and related repair or replacement work by state and local governments, primarily in facilities maintenance and capital-renovation contexts. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers acquire aluminum louver units for installation at operational facilities, including correctional institutions, water infrastructure sites, and other public buildings, often bundled with demolition, structural repairs, wall panel replacement, or site restoration work. The work ranges from small single-unit replacements to large-scale louver wall assembly projects on 24/7 operational facilities, typically awarded on a low-responsive-bid basis through ITB, RFQ, or quick-quote mechanisms. Collier County, Florida, emerges as an active repeat buyer under this code, issuing multiple louver-replacement solicitations within the past six months.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Collier County has posted two louver-focused opportunities: an ITB for CCSO Jail (J3) roof replacement and louver repair with a $3,000,000 anticipated budget and an October 12, 2026 response deadline (Solicitation 268693), requiring a mandatory site visit, a valid Florida General Contractor License, and roofing contractor credentials, and a May 2026 Quick Quote for well-house louver removal and replacement at three Vanderbilt Beach Road locations, each louver 47 inches by 82 inches aluminum, with a May 15, 2026 response deadline (Solicitation QQ2026121). Both solicitations mandate comprehensive insurance, E-Verify enrollment, and compliance with Collier County's procurement platform and standard terms. The code sees limited geographic spread in available records; opportunities outside Florida are not evident in the recent pipeline.
