NIGP 32073: Screws, Sheet Metal

NIGP 32073 Screws, Sheet Metal is an Item code that captures fastening hardware used in fabrication and assembly work for state and local infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure sheet metal screws as component materials within broader construction, maintenance, and equipment-refurbishment contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys. The issuing bodies soliciting work under this code span county-level public works and utilities departments. Recent activity shows Broward County, Florida as a significant buyer, posting multiple open-end indefinite-quantity contracts for fabrication and refurbishment services where sheet metal screws and related fastening hardware are incorporated into delivered control panels and electrical equipment.

Broward County's two posted solicitations in May and June 2026—PNC2132146B2 (due June 26, 2026) and PNC2132148B3 (due June 22, 2026)—represent the primary recent opportunities under this code. Both RFQs call for fabrication and refurbishment of water and wastewater control panels for the Public Works and Environmental Services Department, with scope including duplex, triplex, fourplex, and hexaplex pump-station configurations; automatic transfer switch panels; and remote telemetry unit panels. All work must comply with National Electrical Code, NEMA standards, and Broward County Water and Wastewater Services Minimum Design and Construction Standards. Contractors must hold a Florida State Certified Electrical Contractor license or Broward County Master Electrical Contractor license; perform at least 75 percent of contract work in-house; maintain 24/7 emergency availability; and provide unit pricing for fabricated panels, removal and installation labor, materials, and pass-through allowances. The second solicitation includes annual pass-through allowances totaling $80,000. Geographic activity centers on South Florida, with Broward County representing the identifiable recent buyer in the dataset.
