NIGP 15512: Building (500 Sq.ft. and Under)

NIGP 15512 Building (500 Sq.ft. And Under), an Item code, covers construction of small municipal and county facilities—fire stations, storage buildings, and similar structures—that state and local governments solicit as turnkey general-contracting projects. The work typically encompasses site preparation, building design and permitting, structural work, utilities integration, landscaping, and site improvements, with contractors assuming full responsibility for engineering, permitting, and compliance with local and state building standards. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and municipal governments, which source these projects through RFPs and sealed-bid solicitations requiring pre-bid or pre-proposal conferences, performance bonds, comprehensive insurance coverage, and documented prime-contracting experience.
