NIGP 33020: Fencing, Electrified

NIGP 33020 Fencing, Electrified, Item code, covers the supply, installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency service of electrified and automated gate systems, perimeter security fencing, and associated control infrastructure at government facilities, airports, parks, schools, and county properties. State and local procurement activity under this code ranges from single-project gate replacements and comprehensive multi-facility fence-and-gate service contracts to five-year cooperative purchasing agreements, with recent solicitations emphasizing 24/7 emergency response capability, time-and-materials service delivery, and compliance with facility-specific security and operational requirements.

Issuing bodies include state military departments, county commissioners and special districts, municipal departments of aviation and watershed management, school districts, and housing authorities. The State of Nevada's Office of the Military, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, DeKalb County School District, and City of Phoenix Housing Department appear as recent buyers. Geographic activity spans Nevada, Florida, Georgia, California, Texas, Minnesota-based cooperatives, and Arizona, with particular concentration in state facilities requiring 24/7 security gate support (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) and school districts establishing on-demand vendor pools. Representative recent opportunities include the Nevada Office of the Military soliciting front gate replacement at the Henderson Armory (IFB 43ADGS3923, due July 22, 2026), Collier County requesting fencing installation and repair services under grant funding with approximately $300,000 in annual department spending (ITB 26-8669, due July 10, 2026), the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation prequalifying vendors for 24/7 on-call gate operator service and repair at Hartsfield-Jackson (PE66062NONST2026000000394, prequalification due June 18, 2026), and the DeKalb County School District establishing a pool of fencing contractors for district-wide on-demand services (ITB 26-712, due March 12, 2026). Contracts typically impose stringent insurance minimums ($1 million to $2 million general liability), require applicable contractor licensing and security clearances or airport credentials, and structure payment as either fixed-price installation work or time-and-materials service with separate labor-rate schedules for emergency, after-hours, weekend, and holiday response.
