NIGP 21014: Bollard Post, Steel, Removable

NIGP 21014 Bollard Post, Steel, Removable is an Item code under which state and local governments procure bollard materials — including pressure-treated timber posts, concrete elements, and steel barriers — for site perimeter control, pedestrian safety, and infrastructure protection at parks, roadways, and public facilities. Recent solicitations show that purchasing bodies typically procure bollards as material-only, one-time purchases with installation handled by the government entity or as part of broader roadway or site-development projects. The City of Yuma issued an IFB in August 2026 for 1,412 pressure-treated timber bollards at East Mesa Community Park with a September 17 response deadline, specifying ground-contact-treated material with the city responsible for installation. Bollard procurement also appears embedded within larger capital projects: Broward County's Royal Palm Boulevard roadway widening and resurfacing solicitation (posted August 2026, due September 14) and Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (posted April 2026, due May 21) both include bollard, guardrail, or barrier installations as line items within comprehensive infrastructure contracts. Issuing bodies include city governments and county transportation or public works divisions.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Florida. The City of Yuma, Arizona, Santa Clara County, and Broward County, Florida, have all posted bollard or barrier-related solicitations between April and August 2026. The scope spans standalone material purchases at municipal parks to integrated components within regional transportation capital projects, with response deadlines clustering in mid-September 2026. Bollard procurement under this code appears to support both routine site safety and significant roadway-expansion initiatives, though the opportunities block shows limited standalone bollard solicitations—most activity embeds bollard materials within broader construction or rehabilitation work.
