NIGP 57054: Sheet Metal, Fabricated (Custom-Made Sheet Metal Items)

NIGP 57054 Sheet Metal, Fabricated (Custom-Made Sheet Metal Items) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure custom fabricated sheet metal products and services including roofing components, structural panels, gutters, downspouts, coping caps, edge metal, and related assemblies in aluminum, stainless steel, copper, and galvanized steel. Recent solicitations reflect two distinct buying patterns: jurisdictions purchasing finished metal goods (aluminum sheeting, steel pallets) as commodities through competitive sealed bids or informal quotes, and those procuring comprehensive sheet metal fabrication and installation services bundled with ongoing maintenance and emergency repair capabilities. State and local issuing bodies under this code span school districts, county governments, city procurement offices, state purchasing divisions, and public universities. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners have posted multiple recent opportunities, indicating repeat procurement activity in the region. The scope of work ranges from single-item material buys to multi-year service agreements with labor components, emergency response requirements, and equipment rental provisions. Welding, pop riveting, sealant work, and compliance with SMACNA standards are common requirements when services are included.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
