NIGP 15572: Recycled Buildings and Structures

NIGP 15572 Recycled Buildings and Structures, an Item code, covers the purchase and construction of modular, prefabricated, and relocated building structures for state and local government operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county governments using this code to procure turnkey construction projects that integrate prefabricated or standardized structural systems — including modular buildings, fire stations, and storage facilities — where the contractor assumes responsibility for design, engineering, permitting, site preparation, and complete installation. The issuing bodies span city governments, county boards of commissioners, and regional procurement consortia; the work involves general contractors with commercial building and site-development experience, performance and payment bonding, and substantial liability insurance.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's procurement of a 7,962-square-foot Fire Station #3 in Volusia County, Florida (sealed-bid IFB, due March 30, 2016, $1.75 million estimated cost); the White County Board of Commissioners' RFP for a 35-by-100-foot steel-frame storage building in Cleveland, Georgia (RFP, due May 28, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal meeting May 8, 2026); and H-GAC, a Houston-Galveston Area Council procurement consortium in Texas, soliciting modular buildings and structures (due July 30, 2026, through OpenGov's web-based platform). Evaluations emphasize contractor experience with similar municipal facilities, project schedules, and detailed cost breakdowns by work area. Performance bonds, payment bonds, and general-liability coverage of $1 million to $3 million per occurrence are standard contract requirements.
