NIGP 33040: Fencing, Ornamental

NIGP 33040 Fencing, Ornamental is an Item code that covers the installation, repair, and maintenance of ornamental and security fencing in metal, vinyl, wood, and plastic materials across multiple fence types and configurations. State and local governments procure this work for schools, parks, cemeteries, municipal facilities, and county infrastructure through a mix of new installations with specified material standards, repair and maintenance contracts priced on hourly or unit bases, emergency/disaster response fencing, and comprehensive multi-site fence-management programs. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Paulding County School District), municipal governments (City of Acworth, City of Bartow, City of Atlanta), and county governments and special purpose entities (Collier County, Cobb County). Collier County has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple fencing opportunities ranging from site-specific installations to countywide maintenance and repair services; several of these solicitations are grant-funded (FEMA Public Assistance or FEMA disaster recovery). Sourcing patterns show a mix of design-build procurement (where contractors specify materials meeting performance standards) and prescriptive specification procurement (where jurisdictions name exact material brands and dimensions).
