NIGP 54075: Railings

NIGP 54075 Railings is an Item code covering the fabrication and installation of bridge, pedestrian, and structural railings for state and local infrastructure projects. State and local governments under this code procure custom-fabricated railings systems—typically steel or weathering-steel assemblies with posts, top rails, horizontal infill, and terminal sections—engineered to specification and installed as part of trail, bridge, and pedestrian-crossing improvements. The issuing bodies span county transportation departments, municipal public works divisions, and special-purpose trail authorities. Vendors must hold trade licenses (such as South Carolina contractor licensure), employ certified tradespeople (AWS-certified welders for steel fabrication), and carry comprehensive liability and workers' compensation coverage. Contracts typically require performance and payment bonding and reference designs based on comparable completed projects within the same jurisdiction.

Greenville County, South Carolina posted RFP27001 on August 5, 2026, for fabrication and installation of 244 linear feet of weathering-steel railings for the Laurel Creek Pedestrian Bridge on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, with proposals due August 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and an anticipated notice to proceed on September 8, 2026. The contract carries extension options for up to four additional one-year renewal terms at the County's option. The source contains no other recent state and local opportunities under this Item code; the Sourcewell RFP 061626 cited in the opportunities block is for law enforcement equipment, not railings, and does not represent activity under NIGP 54075.
