NIGP 20038: Insulated Clothing

NIGP 20038 Insulated Clothing, an Item code, covers specialized protective outerwear that state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies procure for uniform and operational use. The scope includes GORE-TEX and WINDSTOPPER patrol shells, rain pants, removable hoods, and similar weather-resistant garments, typically ordered as on-call supply agreements with custom embellishment (emblems, badges, agency designation screening) rather than one-time bulk purchases. Issuing bodies under this code include state fish and wildlife agencies and other law enforcement command structures. The work involves vendor qualification on state marketplaces, adherence to technical specifications for fit and materials, and delivery performance tied to liquidated damages for delays.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posted ITB FWC 25.26-108 in July 2026 for law enforcement rain and winter gear, with bids due August 18, 2026, seeking fixed unit pricing across a three-year initial term and three optional one-year renewal periods. The ITB specified seven product categories in sizes XS to 4XL with standard and tall length options, 60-day delivery from purchase order issuance, and $100-per-day liquidated damages for late delivery; the Commission issued three addenda and ultimately withdrew the ITB after receiving fewer than two responsive bids, converting to an exceptional purchase under Florida law. Recent activity under the code remains limited to this single reported opportunity.
