NIGP 59530: Fountains, Statues and Other Decorative Lawn and Garden Items

NIGP 59530 Fountains, Statues And Other Decorative Lawn And Garden Items is an Item code under which state and local governments procure maintenance, repair, and installation services for outdoor water fountains and related decorative water features. Recent solicitations show scope ranging from routine maintenance and emergency repair of existing fountain installations to new construction projects that integrate water features into public parks and recreational facilities. Issuing bodies include county governments and municipalities, with county boards of commissioners and city public works departments as primary buyers. The maintenance and repair work involves specialized knowledge of fountain systems including UV disinfection systems, metering pumps, filtration equipment, electrical controls, and LED lighting, along with chemical management and emergency-response capabilities on 24/7 basis.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida recently posted ITB2600283 on June 1, 2026, requesting competitive sealed bids for five-year maintenance and repair services on outdoor fountains at John F. Germany Public Library and Joe Chillura Courthouse Square, with bids due June 22, 2026 (extended by Addendum No. 1 from June 19), at an estimated contract value of $413,552.50. The scope includes weekly basin cleaning, UV system service, standard repairs, and 24-hour emergency repair response at the library, and monthly maintenance plus specialized chlorine disinfection management at the courthouse location. Bidders must carry Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, Professional Liability of $1,000,000, and Pollution Liability of $1,000,000. A separate solicitation by the City of Orem, Utah (OREM21023561, posted April 28, 2026, due May 28, 2026) addressed engineering services for a new drinking water well rather than decorative fountains, indicating that opportunities in this NIGP code may blur across related water-management infrastructure. Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and West, with limited posting volume relative to broader procurement categories.
