NIGP 57029: Iron: Angles, Bands, Plate, Sheets, etc.

NIGP 57029 Iron: Angles, Bands, Plate, Sheets, Etc., an Item code, covers structural and fabrication metals that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, repair, and construction — though recent solicitation activity shows state transportation departments actively buying aluminum materials (angles, channels, bars, I-beams, plates, rods, sheets, tubes, and fabricated components) under this classification. The scope includes both raw stock materials and finished or semi-finished pieces delivered to maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and equipment yards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of transportation and, based on the materials profile, likely county public works departments and municipal maintenance operations, though the recent-opportunities block identifies only a single solicitation.

The Florida Department of Transportation posted ITB 15208 on February 25, 2026, seeking aluminum materials on a competitive sealed-bid basis for two-year contract award, with delivery to the Sign Shop in Lake City and the State Aluminum Structures Shop in Oviedo, Florida. Bids closed March 16, 2026, with award decision posted March 17, 2026. All materials must comply with Build America Buy America requirements under 2 CFR 184, with manufacturing and all processing in the United States, and must meet specified ASTM standards. Delivery is required within thirty calendar days of purchase order receipt on an F.O.B. destination basis. No in-state preference applies due to federal funding, and no disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were designated. The contract includes an option for mutual renewal for up to three years or the term of the original contract, whichever is longer, subject to satisfactory performance and fund availability. All bidders must register in MyFloridaMarketplace and submit a Vendor Certification Regarding Scrutinized Companies Lists; a 1% transaction fee applies to all vendor payments.
