NIGP 15540: Gazebos, Kiosks (Including Informational Type), and Pavilions

NIGP 15540 Gazebos, Kiosks (Including Informational Type), and Pavilions, an Item code, encompasses the design, construction, and installation of outdoor shelter structures and information facilities. State and local governments procure freestanding pavilions, open-air shade structures, and information kiosks for parks, recreation centers, and public spaces, typically through construction contracts that include site preparation, utility integration, and landscaping. Issuing bodies range across municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts, with recent activity dominated by city parks departments and county recreation authorities. The work frequently involves turnkey construction with performance bonds, prevailing wage compliance where federal funding applies, and compliance with Florida Building Code or equivalent local standards. Contractors typically must demonstrate prior experience with similar municipal facilities and parks-and-recreation project delivery.

Recent solicitations span Florida and Georgia, with the highest concentration in Florida counties and municipalities. The City of Pembroke Pines issued IFB #RE-26-04 for soccer field and structural renovations including demolition and replacement of a pavilion at Silver Lakes North Park, estimated at $480,000 with bids due October 20, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and HUD Section 3 employment requirements. Collier County issued IFB 26-8703 for the Immokalee Sports Complex Phase 1A & 1B, with a $6.24 million anticipated contract budget including a 618-square-foot open-air pavilion with utility tie-ins, bids due November 2, 2026. Volusia County solicited construction of a 30-foot-by-60-foot timber-frame pavilion through the CDBG-CV Seville Village Improvement Association Pavilion Construction project (IFB 26B29IF), estimated at $190,000 with bids due January 29, 2026, requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Section 3 labor compliance, and M/WBE provisions. The City of Summerville, Georgia, issued an RFB for an 80-foot-wide by 115-foot-long clear-span basketball court pavilion with sealed bids due May 22, 2026. Activity reflects strong municipal and county demand for outdoor recreational infrastructure with federal compliance requirements where CDBG or HUD funding applies.
