NIGP 330: Fencing

NIGP 330 Fencing, a Class code, encompasses the supply, installation, repair, and removal of fencing systems and related materials that state and local governments procure for security, containment, property demarcation, and operational purposes across facilities, parks, airports, utilities, and transportation infrastructure. Recent solicitations reveal a diverse mix of fencing types—chain link, vinyl, wood, ornamental, non-conductive fiberglass, temporary barrier systems, and specialized wildlife exclusion fencing—with work ranging from straightforward material supply to complex installation and maintenance contracts spanning multiple facility locations or extended linear footage.

Issuing bodies pursuing fencing work span city and county governments, independent school districts, regional transit authorities, and special-purpose districts such as water and electric boards, airport authorities, and flood control districts. Among recent opportunities, school districts (Pinellas County, Kearsley Community Schools, Fort Bend ISD, Northside ISD) and municipal departments (City of Wichita, Collier County, City of Doral, City of Long Beach) appear frequently as repeat buyers. Procurement vehicles include traditional IFB and RFP structures, as-needed on-call contracts, and pre-qualified vendor pools. Geographic activity spans California, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, Texas, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Colorado; Florida and Texas jurisdictions dominate recent posting volume. Representative solicitations include Pinellas County School District's RFP (26CD022, bids due June 12, 2026) for fencing, gate operators, and handrails installation across district facilities with an approximate contract value of $1.5 million for one year plus renewal options; Greenville County's RFP (RFP26115, proposals due July 13, 2026) for portable litter fencing at a landfill, specifying 24-by-15-by-7.5-foot steel-frame units with welded-wire enclosure capable of withstanding 65 mph winds; Fort Bend ISD's RFP (RFP 26-064AR, proposals due April 30, 2026) for on-call fencing installation, repair, and services across 83 campuses in multiple materials with hourly labor rates and material unit pricing; and the City of Milpitas' IFB (IFB 26-229, bids due July 23, 2026) for five-year blanket purchase orders on maintenance supplies including Park and Landscaping Maintenance Supplies with fencing-related materials and labor. Activity under NIGP 330 reflects steady municipal and school district investment in facility perimeter security, operational containment systems, and infrastructure protection, with many contracts structured to award multiple vendors and incorporate prevailing wage requirements where applicable.
