NIGP 57056: Sheet Piling, Steel

NIGP 57056 Sheet Piling, Steel is an Item code under which state and local governments procure galvanized steel piles, shoring materials meeting railroad or utility specifications, and related installation services for marine, infrastructure, and utility projects. The State of Washington Department of Parks and Recreation solicited procurement and installation of two galvanized steel piles (ASTM A252 Grade 3, 16-inch diameter) for a floating pumpout station at Sucia Island Marine State Park through RFP NWBC043 due June 16, 2026, including rock socketing, marine and protected species monitoring, and construction surveying. The City of Acworth, Georgia issued IFB 2026-02 due April 8, 2026 for CSX Approved Shoring Material meeting railroad specifications for municipal infrastructure projects. Work under this code spans marine pile installation with environmental compliance, railroad-approved shoring systems for municipal construction, and related surveying and environmental monitoring services. Issuing bodies include state natural-resources agencies, cities, and county departments of public works and utilities, with no single repeat buyer evident from recent solicitations.

Recent activity is geographically distributed across Washington state and Georgia, with the Washington solicitation representing the most complex and highest-specification marine pile work. The Sucia Island project requires ASTM A252 Grade 3 piles with 10-foot bedrock embedment, compliance with IBC and ANSI/AISC 341 standards, domestic content exceeding 55% under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, dual prevailing wage compliance, and a 5% bid bond for proposals exceeding $35,000. The Acworth shoring solicitation was more limited in scope documentation, requiring only CSX-approved materials without disclosed budget parameters. Both opportunities reflect infrastructure modernization and marine environmental protection as drivers of sheet piling procurement in state and local markets.
