NIGP 45081: Tarpaulins, Large Scale Projects, Includes Installation

NIGP 45081, Tarpaulins, Large Scale Projects, Includes Installation, is an Item code under which state and local governments procure gymnasium and facility locker systems, janitorial and operational supplies for fire rescue departments and public facilities, and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing arrangements. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, and regional cooperatives buying furnishings and consumables that span far beyond the legacy code name. Polk County Schools in Georgia is replacing and relocating 103 gymnasium lockers at Cedartown Middle School, requiring MIG-welded construction with powder-coated finishes and lifetime warranty, with installation and completion by year-end 2026. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue in Florida is procuring consumable janitorial and operational supplies on an as-needed basis for 47 fire stations operating continuously, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. School districts and county governments dominate the issuing-body mix, with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell also active in establishing multi-jurisdiction frameworks for equipment procurement.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and Florida based on recent opportunities, though Sourcewell's cooperative vehicle (governed under Washington state law and encompassing Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, plus thousands of other governmental agencies across the United States and Canada) signals broader geographic reach. Polk County Schools issued an RFP (PE55080NONST2027000000013) for gymnasium locker replacement and relocation due October 6, 2026, requiring site visits by September 25, with board award consideration on October 13, 2026, and project completion by December 31, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued a competitive sealed bid (ITB2600319) for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026 at $765,679.84 estimated value, with delivery required within 10 days of purchase order receipt to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment closed June 16, 2026, and will establish a contracting solution for participating entities across multiple states and jurisdictions, demonstrating how this code supports both direct school and county procurement and cooperative purchasing frameworks that aggregate demand across regions.
