NIGP 34038: Fire-Stop Equipment, Materials, Accessories and Parts

NIGP 34038 Fire-Stop Equipment, Materials, Accessories and Parts is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fire protection system components, firefighting apparatus, protective gear, and related inspection and maintenance services—a scope broader than the code name alone suggests. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, cities, and housing authorities buying firefighting hoses and accessories, protective fire clothing and breathing apparatus, fire engines and aerial trucks, fire alarm and sprinkler system services, powered rescue tools, and annual inspection and testing contracts for fire protection infrastructure. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB for firefighting hoses and accessories with an estimated value of $117,076.60; Fulton County, Georgia solicited bids for fire and rescue tools, equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, and maintenance services; and Hillsborough County Public Schools sought proposals for fire protection system services covering inspection, maintenance, and repair of CO2 extinguisher systems and sprinklers across 235 schools. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) established an annual contract for protective fire clothing and accessories under RFB 27-0007, anticipating approximately 30 sets procured on an as-needed basis and awarding to two vendors.

Activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Florida is a significant market, with Hillsborough County active in both firefighting hose procurement and school-district fire protection services; the City of Santa Monica, California issued RFP 472 for four Type 1 fire engines and two tractor-drawn aerial trucks with comprehensive NFPA compliance and delivery timelines spanning over three years. Georgia appears active, with Fulton County's broad fire and rescue tools and SCBA solicitation (July 2026), Columbus Consolidated Government's protective fire clothing contract (October 2026), and Stephens County Schools' districtwide renovations including fire-alarm system replacements (October 2026). Colorado's Boulder County Housing Authority solicited short-list fire safety services covering inspections, testing, monitoring, and maintenance across 23 residential and commercial facilities, with services billed hourly on a task-order basis. South Carolina saw Greenville County's Tigerville Fire Department seek proposals for a customized squad truck under RFP 26003 (July 2025). The most recent notice-posting activity is concentrated in mid-to-late 2026, with bid and proposal responses due through October 2026 in most active solicitations.
