NIGP 330: Fencing

NIGP 330 Fencing, a Class code, covers the installation, repair, removal, and maintenance of fence systems across multiple materials and applications that state and local governments procure for facility perimeters, security, recreation areas, and infrastructure protection. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for chain-link fencing (galvanized and vinyl-coated), wood privacy fencing, vinyl fencing, ornamental and decorative fencing, temporary and portable fencing systems, gate installation and operation, and specialized applications such as wildlife exclusion fencing at airports and litter containment at landfills. Work typically includes labor, materials, equipment, site preparation, demolition of existing fencing, and disposal. The issuing-body mix spans cities (Fort Myers, Eugene, Taylor, Tucson, Palm Bay, Long Beach, Wichita, Dallas), counties (Volusia, Collier, Flagler, Multnomah, Sarasota, Boulder, San Mateo, Broward, Escambia, Greenville, Pinellas), school districts (Manchester Community Schools, Kearsley Community Schools, Paulding County School District, Bethel School District), special-purpose entities (EWEB in Oregon, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Dallas Housing Authority), and state agencies (Texas, New Hampshire, Illinois through Sourcewell cooperative). Several repeat buyers appear in recent postings—Collier County (fencing, gates, and landscaping combined; grant-funded park infrastructure) and Broward County (roadway capacity expansion with fencing components)—reflecting ongoing infrastructure maintenance and capital projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Fort Myers ITB 26-043 for disaster fencing and gates, bids due June 15, 2026; Collier County ITB 26-8669 for fencing services across parks, bids due July 10, 2026; Pinellas County School District for fencing and gate operators, bids due June 12, 2026; Volusia County for Ocean Center security fencing, bids due September 17, 2026) and Oregon (Eugene ITB 20272018 for Overpark Garage protective fencing, bids due October 27, 2026; EWEB ITB 26-102-PW for Adams Substation fencing, bids due June 11, 2026; Bethel School District RFQ for K-12 fencing, responses due June 19, 2026), with additional recent activity in Michigan (Manchester Community Schools and Kearsley Community Schools), California (Long Beach playground fencing, San Mateo County on-call temporary fencing), Colorado (Boulder County open-space fencing), Texas (State ESBD set-aside for fencing construction, bids due October 13, 2026; Wichita cable fencing for flood control, bids due May 22, 2026; Dallas Housing Authority wood fencing replacement at 50 homes, bids due May 28, 2026), and multistate cooperative procurements (Illinois State Chief Procurement Office through Sourcewell RFP #072826 for fencing materials and services, proposals due July 28, 2026; New Hampshire Department of Natural and Cultural Resources for temporary fencing at Franconia Notch State Park, bids due July 15, 2026). Recent solicitations emphasize on-call and continuing-contract structures with project-by-project scope determination, prevailing wage compliance on federally funded or Davis-Bacon-triggered work, comprehensive insurance requirements (typically $1–2 million general liability), and in several cases FEMA or federal reimbursement provisions that impose federal compliance obligations on awardees.
