NIGP 33058: Fencing, Wire

NIGP 33058 Fencing, Wire is an Item code under which state and local governments procure installation, repair, and replacement of metal wire and mixed-material fencing systems across facilities ranging from wildlife areas and correctional centers to parks, schools, and municipal stormwater infrastructure. Recent solicitations show a mix of industrial-gauge barbed and smooth wire fencing for livestock exclusion and security applications, along with galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, PVC, and decorative aluminum fencing for general perimeter and privacy use. Issuing bodies span state natural-resource departments, county and municipal parks and public-works agencies, school districts, and correctional facilities. The scope extends to gate installation, automation systems, and emergency repair services, often bundled with site preparation, drainage work, or landscape restoration. Installation contracts frequently require prevailing wage compliance, federal or state grant funding restrictions (NOAA, FEMA, or state capital-improvement programs), and performance or payment bonds. Temporary fencing and as-needed maintenance agreements are common alongside fixed project work.

Activity clusters in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with recent opportunities also in Oregon, California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's ITB for 3.48 miles of wildlife-friendly barbed and smooth wire fencing at Bridge Creek Wildlife Area (bids due October 21, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid October 15, 2026); the City of Ocala, Florida's ITB for stormwater chain link fence installation and repairs on an as-needed basis under a three-year term with two one-year renewal options (bids due September 24, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for multi-type fencing including galvanized and vinyl chain link, wood, and steel decorative fencing across 237 line items (bids due August 26, 2026); Collier County, Florida's ITB for grant-funded fencing installation and repair services (bids due July 10, 2026, approximately $300,000 annually in historical spend); and San Mateo County's RFP for on-call temporary perimeter fencing services over five years using time-and-materials pricing (proposals due May 20, 2026). Set-asides include emerging small business (ESB) restrictions in Texas procurements and local vendor preferences in several Florida county solicitations. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also solicit fencing material supply agreements for use across multi-state member entities.
