NIGP 57066: Steel, Cold Rolled: Bars, Plates, Rods, Sheets, and Strips

NIGP 57066 Steel, Cold Rolled: Bars, Plates, Rods, Sheets, And Strips is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fabricated and raw steel plates, floor plates, and sheet-stock materials for infrastructure, facility, and operational use. Recent solicitations show concrete demand for ASTM A36 carbon steel plates with custom drilling and hole fabrication, metal floor plates in standard sizes, and domestically manufactured steel plate stock. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city airport systems, state procurement offices, and state workforce agencies. Quantities typically range from single-digit to mid-double-digit unit counts, and specifications emphasize material grade compliance, domestic-origin requirements, and precise dimensional and hole-drilling tolerances.

The City of Houston Airport System posted an IFB on September 21, 2026 for supply and delivery of domestic ASTM A36/A36M carbon steel plates with drilled holes—six 10-foot-by-10-foot plates and one 10-foot-by-20-foot plate, each with four drilled holes, due September 25, 2026. The State of Texas posted two floor-plate solicitations in May 2026: one on May 12 for aluminum floor plate (3003 H23 Tread Brite, 0.063 by 48.0000 by 96.0000 inches, 16 pieces, due May 15), and another on May 22 for metal floor plates (1/8 by 48.0000 by 96.0000 inches, 55 pieces, due May 29) with explicit material flexibility favoring the lightest option available. Texas dominates recent activity; the City of Houston and State of Texas account for all four identifiable opportunities in the source block.
