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

NIGP 15540 Gazebos, Kiosks (Including Informational Type), and Pavilions is an Item code under which state and local governments procure outdoor shelter structures for parks, recreation facilities, transit stations, and public gathering spaces. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties purchasing clear-span pavilions for basketball courts, boardwalk observation and education facilities, neighborhood park shade structures, and adaptive reuse of transit information kiosks. The work ranges from design-build construction of large, engineered metal-frame pavilions with metal roofing systems to the installation of pressure-treated lumber and composite boardwalk structures with smaller pavilion components. Issuing bodies include city recreation departments, county boards of commissioners, city offices of economic development, and municipal procurement offices. The code sees activity from small municipalities (Summerville, Georgia; DeBary, Florida) through larger county systems (Orange County, Clay County, and City of New Haven).

Recent opportunities span Florida and Georgia, with notable activity in the Southeast. The City of New Haven, Connecticut issued RFP 2026RFPCNH363 for adaptive reuse of a transit information kiosk on the New Haven Green due August 4, 2026, seeking proposals for small-format retail, tourism, or community-service activation of a 100-square-foot former transit booth. The City of Summerville, Georgia issued RFB PE66132NONST2026000000022 due May 22, 2026 for an 80-by-115-foot clear-span basketball court pavilion with metal roof and steel trusses at Fairway Recreation Center. Clay County, Florida issued IFB 2526043 due February 12, 2026 for approximately 7,642 linear feet of boardwalk with pavilion, observation tower, and overlook platforms at Moccasin Slough Park, funded in part by a $200,000 Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program grant. Orange County, Florida issued invitation for bid Y26713 for design and construction of a 5-acre neighborhood park including a covered pavilion, due February 17, 2026, with an estimated project cost of $1,300,000. Contractors must typically hold state licensure, demonstrate three to five years of similar project experience, provide bid bonds ranging from 5 to 10 percent, and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 per occurrence.
