NIGP 15508: Bridges, Prefabricated (Not Installed)

NIGP 15508 Bridges, Prefabricated (Not Installed), an Item code, encompasses the design, fabrication, and delivery of prefabricated bridge structures—both modular and complete units—for temporary and permanent applications across state and local jurisdictions, with recent activity driven by municipalities and counties seeking pedestrian bridges, stream-crossing infrastructure, and emergency bridge replacements. State and local governments procure under this code modular steel skidder bridges for logging and temporary access, complete prefabricated pedestrian bridges in steel and composite materials, and precast concrete bridge components including girders, decking, piling, and abutment panels, often as part of larger transportation or infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Maine, Texas, Washington, California), county boards of supervisors and public works departments (Orange County and Okaloosa County in Florida, Sarasota County in Florida, Lowndes County and other Mississippi counties), cities (Clarksdale and Sheridan), and municipal park and recreation authorities. Orange County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple bridge-related procurements including both fabrication and design-engineering solicitations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Florida, Mississippi, Maine, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Georgia, with activity spanning custom modular steel bridges for forestry operations, emergency bridge replacements, pedestrian overcrossings on state corridors, and fiber-reinforced polymer composite pedestrian spans. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services' RFQ for four modular all-steel skidder bridges (due July 30, 2026) for temporary stream crossings on forest management roads; Orange County, Florida's sealed bid for emergency replacement of two bridges—Wallington Drive and Egret Way—with an estimated project cost of $6,202,246.05 (bids due July 7, 2026); the City of Sheridan, Oregon's IFB for installation of a 66,000-pound, 80-foot railcar pedestrian bridge (bids due July 13, 2026); Okaloosa County, Florida's ITB for precast and prestressed concrete bridge materials for the Bone Creek Bridge, fully federally grant-funded with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Buy America requirements (bids due April 29, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQQ for 10 precast prestressed concrete girders for the I-90 Hansen Road project (bids due May 12, 2026); and the City of Clarksdale, Mississippi's invitation to bid for design, fabrication, and delivery of a fiber-reinforced polymer composite pedestrian bridge crossing the Sunflower River (bids due February 20, 2026).
