NIGP 15524: Carports, Fiberglass and Plastic

NIGP 15524 Carports, Fiberglass and Plastic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure covered outdoor structures for vehicle storage, fleet maintenance, and operational workspace. Recent solicitations show activity centered on pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) canopy structures and similar covered facilities rather than traditional fiberglass or plastic carports; Volusia County, Florida posted an IFB for a 4,720 square foot open-air PEMB canopy at the Tomoka Farms Landfill to serve fleet vehicle maintenance and repair operations, with an estimated construction cost of $250,000 and substantial completion required within 120 days. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and municipalities. Florida-based jurisdictions appear active, with both Volusia County and the City of DeBary (also Volusia County) posting related covered-structure construction work in recent months.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Volusia County's fleet maintenance canopy project (IFB 25B155LL, response deadline November 20, 2025) and the City of DeBary's larger Fire Station #3 construction (which includes structural and site components) represent the most visible state and local procurements. Bidders on the Volusia County canopy project must hold a Florida Certified General or Building Contractor license, comply with E-verify requirements, and provide performance and payment bonds due to the project value exceeding $200,000. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for October 30, 2025. The DeBary Fire Station project (closed/completed as of the source date) required three years of prime contracting experience and encompassed broader facility construction alongside covered structures.
