NIGP 57005 Aluminum: Bars, Plates, Posts, Rods, Sheets, Siding, Strips, Structural Shapes, Tubes, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure finished aluminum stock materials for infrastructure repair, fabrication, and maintenance projects. Recent solicitations show demand for corrugated aluminum pipe culverts for water management conservation areas, perforated aluminum panels for building rehab, aluminum sign blanks and sheeting for roadway signage, aluminum floor plate for specific industrial applications, and aluminum tubing for general materials inventory. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include water management districts, county boards of commissioners, state departments of transportation, transit authorities, court systems, and state corrections departments. The St. Johns River Water Management District issued an IFB on October 9, 2026 for 30-foot corrugated aluminum pipe culverts in four diameters totaling $45,000, with delivery due February 5, 2027. Harris County issued an IFB on October 5, 2026 for fabrication and delivery of perforated aluminum panels for a rehab shelter.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, California, Kansas, and Indiana. California Department of Transportation has been a repeat issuer of Small Business set-aside contracts for aluminum sign materials and installation on state routes in Orange, Calaveras, and Tuolumne counties, with estimated project costs ranging from $119,440 to $248,840. Kansas Turnpike Authority solicited aluminum sign materials on May 6, 2026 (due May 25) specifying multiple quantities of aluminum sheeting and blanks in various gauges and dimensions with delivery to Wichita and Topeka. Texas agencies issued separate solicitations: the Department of Criminal Justice requested aluminum tubing on July 9, 2026, and the State of Texas sought Aluminum Floor Plate 3003 H23 Tread Brite on May 12, 2026 with a compressed three-day bidding window. Superior Court of Los Angeles sought 606 units of pallet rack wire decking (52 inches by 42 inches, 2,500-pound load capacity) on April 24, 2026. Small Business set-asides and prevailing-wage requirements characterize California DOT procurements under this code; Davis-Bacon Act compliance applies to federally funded projects like the City of Madison siding work on June 29, 2026.
