NIGP 57021: Decking, Steel

NIGP 57021 Decking, Steel, an Item code, encompasses structural steel repair, replacement, and protective coating work on corroded steel components in public infrastructure, with recent solicitations showing state and local governments buying steelwork for water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment systems, and bridge structures. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span utilities (water treatment and wastewater operators), transportation departments, counties, and special districts. New Smyrna Beach Utilities, Sacramento County, and the City of Lavonia, Georgia represent typical repeat procurers of steel decking and structural steel repair services driven by aging infrastructure maintenance cycles.

Recent solicitations reflect two primary procurement patterns. New Smyrna Beach Utilities issued ITB 10-26 in April 2026 for stainless steel (316 alloy) walkway repairs at the Glencoe Water Treatment Plant in Volusia County, Florida, requiring installation of W8x18 beams, C5x9 channels, and bolt assemblies with epoxy coating and a 30-day completion window. Sacramento County posted Solicitation 4702 for the Freeport Bridge Deck Repair Project with an estimated construction cost of $300,000, covering weld repairs to main bascule span steel, joint armor replacement, and bridge painting across Sacramento River infrastructure. The City of Lavonia, Georgia solicited comprehensive water treatment plant modifications in April 2026 (sealed bid due May 26, 2026) under PE66940NONST2026000000005, though the summary identifies this as general construction rather than decking-specific work. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and West Coast (California), with projects subject to prevailing wage, DBE participation goals, and Buy America requirements where federal funding is present.
