NIGP 33040: Fencing, Ornamental

NIGP 33040 Fencing, Ornamental, an Item code, covers the supply, installation, maintenance, and repair of ornamental and decorative fencing systems across state and local government facilities. State and local buyers under this code procure chain-link (vinyl-coated and galvanized), ornamental steel, wrought iron, wooden privacy, vinyl privacy, post-and-rail, temporary, and specialty fencing including anti-climb and security variants for schools, parks, water departments, housing authorities, and municipal facilities. Recent solicitations show districts and departments issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs structured as multi-year contracts with as-needed purchasing, firm pricing for initial terms with capped annual adjustments (typically 3–5 percent), and awards to single or multiple vendors by region or maintenance area. Issuing bodies include large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Temple Independent School District, Paulding County School District), county and municipal departments (Collier County Parks & Recreation, City of Charlotte, City of Phoenix Housing, City of Atlanta Watershed Management), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Most solicitations require vendors to maintain inventory, respond to emergency requests within hours to days, and provide labor, materials, equipment, and permits bundled into line-item pricing or hourly labor rates with material cost reimbursement.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Paulding County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of Phoenix Housing), Texas (Northside Independent School District, Temple Independent School District), the Carolinas (City of Charlotte), and Georgia (City of Atlanta), with a multistate cooperative vehicle (Sourcewell) sourcing for Minnesota and South Dakota. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26028-MST (due February 26, 2026) for fencing services across 270+ school sites with 238 line items and estimated annual usage quantities up to 18,000 linear feet; Collier County ITB 26-8669 (due July 10, 2026) for grant-funded fencing installation and repair across parks and facilities with hourly labor rates and material pricing; the City of Charlotte's RFP 269-2026-142 (due April 6, 2026) for citywide on-call fencing with two-hour emergency response and linear-foot pricing; and Sourcewell's RFP 26RFP072826 (due July 28, 2026) for a multistate cooperative vehicle supplying fencing materials and related services. Paulding County School District issued IFB 26-260630 (due July 21, 2026) for selective fencing removal and new installation. Contracts typically span three years with one to two renewal options, and evaluation criteria weight experience, cost, responsiveness, and small business enterprise participation goals (5–20 percent in several districts).
