NIGP 55352: Metal Components (Ferrous and Non-Ferrous)

NIGP 55352 Metal Components (Ferrous and Non-Ferrous), an Item code, describes metal parts and materials that state and local governments procure for construction, infrastructure, and facility maintenance projects. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects procurement for infrastructure work including precast concrete curbs with embedded metal reinforcement, canal lining construction involving metal components, water treatment facility upgrades requiring structural metal assemblies, and general maintenance parts for district-wide facilities. Issuing bodies span school districts (San Antonio Independent School District), special-purpose water districts (Moon Lake Water Users Association), cities (Pittsburgh, Peoria, Orem), and county-based entities; school districts appear as repeat buyers, with San Antonio ISD posting multiple rolling rounds of general maintenance solicitations between May and October 2026. The code activity covers a geographic spread anchored in the Southwest and Mountain West—Utah (Moon Lake, Sevier County, Orem), Texas (San Antonio), Arizona (Peoria)—and Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Pittsburgh's IFB 2024-IFB-048 (posted July 28, 2026, response deadline July 1, 2024) for precast concrete curbs with metal reinforcement, shipped or installed across multiple quantity bands, with a contract period spanning July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026 plus two one-year renewal options and potential for multiple awards to responsive bidders; the Moon Lake Water Users Association's sealed bid GJ27-109 (posted September 22, 2026, due October 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time) for Yellowstone Feeder Canal Lining Construction—Phase 1, with bidding documents available through the Jones and DeMille contractors portal and questions due October 5, 2026; and San Antonio ISD's four overlapping continuous, open-ended RFPs for general maintenance services, parts, repairs, supplies, and equipment (RV-3 through RV-8, posted between May and October 2026, each with response deadlines spaced two to four weeks apart), covering installation, repairs, and assessments district-wide on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum work volume and contingent on district funding availability. The City of Peoria's IFB P26-0051 (posted May 6, 2026, bid deadline May 22, 2026) for pavement management preservation, while not metal-specific, involves slurry seal and micro seal applications funded at an estimated annual $1.7 million in polymer-modified materials with five-year contract term and single-award intent.
