NIGP 34086: Swivels and Swivel Joints

NIGP 34086 Swivels and Swivel Joints, an Item code, encompasses components that state and local governments procure as part of larger fire protection and fluid-handling system installations and maintenance. Hillsborough County Public Schools' current activity under this code reflects the real-world scope: swivel joints appear as line-item components within pre-engineered and engineered fire suppression systems (CO2 extinguisher systems and sprinkler infrastructure) that schools, public facilities, and municipal districts maintain across distributed campus and building networks. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, county facilities management offices, and municipal maintenance departments responsible for fire safety compliance and infrastructure upkeep.

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) posted RFP 26349-RFP-MST on September 7, 2026, due October 5, 2026, for fire protection system services covering inspection, maintenance, and repair across 235 district schools. The RFP mandates a structural separation of duties: one vendor performs inspections while a separate vendor handles repairs on the same systems. HCPS encourages small business enterprise participation and awards evaluation points (10 percent of total weight) based on certified SBE subcontractor utilization. Standard service delivery requires 478 estimated annual hours during 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday–Friday windows, with overtime and cost-plus-markup provisions capped at 15 percent. Evaluation weights qualifications and experience (30 percent), specifications and scope of work (25 percent), cost and best value (35 percent), and SBE utilization (10 percent). A pre-proposal conference occurred September 8, 2026, and written questions were due September 21, 2026. The source provides no additional recent opportunities in other jurisdictions or states.
