NIGP 33046: Fencing, Snow

NIGP 33046 Fencing, Snow is an Item code under which state and local governments procure snow fencing materials and related installation or supply services, principally for transportation and infrastructure protection. Recent solicitations show demand for commodity snow fence (rail-style products with bracket systems and internal bracing), comprehensive fence supply and services agreements covering multiple fence types (chain-link, ornamental, block, masonry, wood), and replacement or repair services on a contract basis. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, municipal housing authorities, school districts, and county agencies. The State of Nevada Department of Transportation has posted multiple procurements for Perma-Rail Snow Fence products; Northside Independent School District in Texas solicited broad fencing materials and installation services via IFB; the City of Phoenix Housing Department sought five-year federally funded fence supply and services; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, requested proposals for fencing materials and products serving multiple states including South Dakota.

Recent activity concentrates in Nevada, Texas, California, Arizona, and Minnesota. Nevada Department of Transportation issued two separate ITBs in 2026 for rail snow fence (5,280 linear feet posted April 20, 2026 with May 15 deadline, and 1,320 linear feet posted March 6, 2026 with March 30 deadline). Northside Independent School District in Texas (San Antonio area) posted IFB 2026-060 on March 31, 2026 for fence material and services with April 22 deadline, replacing an expiring 2023 contract and requiring all incumbent vendors to re-compete. The City of Phoenix Housing Department posted IFB-FY26-08606 for a five-year federally funded fence supply and services contract with January 5, 2026 deadline and March 1, 2026 commencement. Sourcewell posted RFP 26RFP072826 on June 9, 2026 for fencing materials, products, and related services as a cooperative purchasing vehicle, due July 28, 2026. Nevada procurements include local veteran-owned small-business preferences and Nevada-in-state manufacturing preferences; Phoenix and Sourcewell contracts include DBE requirements or cooperative purchasing provisions. Competition appears open to established vendors with relevant experience and appropriate licensing.
