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

NIGP 15046 Louvers (Item) covers the supply, removal, replacement, and installation of louver assemblies and media used in mechanical, cooling, and ventilation systems across state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing aluminum louvers for well houses, cooling tower louver media and framed assemblies, and related louver components as part of facility maintenance and equipment replacement projects. The code draws solicitations from county purchasing departments, state transportation agencies, and special-purpose district facilities, with work typically scoped as repair-and-maintenance or capital replacement projects awarded on a low-bid basis.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida and California, with a single recent representative opportunity from Collier County, Florida. Collier County issued Quick Quote solicitation QQ2026121 (NRO #18, 19, 20 WELL HOUSE LOUVERS) with a May 15, 2026 response deadline, soliciting removal and replacement of three aluminum louvers (47 inches wide by 82 inches long) at well house locations along Vanderbilt Beach Road; the scope included removal of existing louvers, installation of new bare aluminum units, wall repair if damage occurred, site cleanup, and debris disposal, with the county handling subsequent painting. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held May 4, 2026, at the primary site, and questions were due May 8, 2026. A secondary California opportunity (solicitation 07A6267, posted April 3, 2026) from Caltrans included removal and replacement of cooling tower louver components including louver media, end framed and side framed louver assemblies, and drift eliminators as part of a broader cooling tower replacement project, though the primary focus of that solicitation centered on CCTV maintenance services rather than louver procurement alone.
