NIGP 15546: Guard and Watchman Huts

NIGP 15546 Guard And Watchman Huts, an Item code, covers security infrastructure and related facility services that state and local governments buy to support guard posts, watchman stations, and security operations at municipal buildings and public venues. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show two distinct applications: municipal construction for dedicated security and operational facilities, and contracted security and ushering services at public-facing cultural venues. The issuing bodies include city governments managing municipal infrastructure projects and public facilities. Work scopes range from turnkey construction of security facilities with comprehensive site improvements to annual staffing contracts for security personnel at performing arts centers and similar public buildings.

The City of Dallas posted a representative opportunity in July 2026 soliciting security and ushering services at the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts & Corporate Presentations, with an estimated annual contract value of $225,000 and bids due August 4, 2026. Earlier, the City of DeBary in Volusia County, Florida issued a construction IFB (Solicitation 0216) for Fire Station #3, a 7,962 gross square foot facility on a 2.0-acre parcel with an Engineer's estimate of $1,750,000 and sealed bids due March 30, 2016, requiring a mandatory pre-bid conference. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas; the nature of the posted opportunities suggests limited current volume under this specific Item code relative to broader security and construction categories.
