NIGP 57023: Expanded Metal (Not Stainless)

NIGP 57023 Expanded Metal (Not Stainless), an Item code, covers the procurement of expanded metal mesh and sheet materials for facility maintenance, infrastructure repair, and construction applications by state and local governments. State and local buyers under this code include correctional agencies, transportation authorities, and other state departments acquiring expanded metal for security barriers, ventilation systems, reinforcement panels, and general-purpose mesh applications. The Georgia Department of Corrections represents the primary recent buyer activity under this code.

The Georgia Department of Corrections issued RFQ 46700ERFQ0018302027 on July 23, 2026, for expanded metal to supply Valdosta State Prison, with quotes due July 31, 2026. The RFQ is structured as a one-time buy from a qualified supplier; preliminary results including participating suppliers and evaluation outcomes will be publicly announced following the closing date and resolution of any contract exceptions, with final award(s) announced after the protest period. No contract value, material specifications, evaluation criteria, or incumbent information is provided in the source. Recent expanded metal procurement activity appears limited to Georgia at present, and the source does not support characterization of broader geographic or issuing-body distribution across other states or local jurisdictions.
