NIGP 54014: Lumber, Cedar

NIGP 54014 Lumber, Cedar is an Item code for cedar lumber and finished cedar products procured by state and local governments. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures cedar fence materials and components—specifically Western Red Cedar pickets, rails, and related hardware—used in construction and renovation projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies (Texas Facilities Commission on behalf of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired) and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative). The work involves both materials supply and full construction services including demolition, fence fabrication, gate installation, and site restoration, with contractors required to source and install cedar lumber to specified grades and dimensions.

Recent activity includes the Texas Facilities Commission's Invitation for Bid 0006644 for replacement of an 8-foot-tall cedar security fence at TSBVI's Superintendent's residence in Austin, Texas, requiring No. 2 or better Western Red Cedar pickets and pressure-treated cedar rails with a response date of February 25, 2026 (amended to March 6, 2026 for notice of intent to award), and Sourcewell's Request for Proposals #061626 for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, which encompasses multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and entities across the United States and Canada through a cooperative purchasing framework. Cedar procurement under this code appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest, with activity driven by capital improvement projects and equipment standardization initiatives across state and regional cooperative purchasing networks.
