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 rolled and fabricated metal stock — primarily aluminum and steel sheeting in standard dimensions — for facility maintenance, repair, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show demand for commercial-grade aluminum sheets in commodity quantities (typically 20 to 70 units per order), stainless steel diaphragm plates for specialized applications, and fabricated steel components for roofing and structural work. The issuing bodies include universities (Texas A&M University System), municipal airports (Houston Airport System), city departments (Austin Resource Recovery, City of Ocala, Louisville Fire Department), and state administrative agencies (State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, City of Fort Worth). The code also captures non-exclusive framework agreements for on-demand supply of mixed metal products across multiple grades and finishes.

Recent activity spans Texas, Oregon, and Kentucky. Houston Airport System has posted three separate solicitations for aluminum sheeting since late July 2026, reflecting recurring operational demand. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0222 on June 24, 2026 with a July 23 deadline for a non-exclusive metals supply agreement with a 30 percent small business participation goal and best-value evaluation weighting experience (25 points), small business participation (25 points), delivery capability (20 points), and cost (15 points). Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026 via the AggieBid procurement portal. The City of Austin's Austin Resource Recovery department issued IFQ 1500-KF1005 on September 28, 2026 requesting steel sheeting (24 units of 3/8-inch thick, 4-foot by 8-foot sheets) and concrete bin blocks for a truck dumping area, with quotes due October 7 and delivery required by October 22. The State of Oregon sought public comment on a Buy America waiver for sheet metal flashing and trim in the State Data Center Roof Replacement project (ITB S-10700-00017107), with final completion required by September 30, 2026.
