NIGP 66535: Fiberglass Sheets, Panels, etc. (incl. Reinforced Types)

NIGP 66535 Fiberglass Sheets, Panels, Etc. (Incl. Reinforced Types) is an Item code covering flat and shaped fiberglass and acrylic panel materials that state and local governments procure for structural, protective, and transparent applications. Recent solicitations show activity spanning three distinct product categories: rigid polycarbonate and Lexan sheets in varying gauges and UV-protective treatments for general-purpose use; curved acrylic panels engineered for architectural canopy systems requiring precision thermoforming and weather-sealing; and fiberglass reinforcing bars (rebar) for construction and infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, water and wastewater utilities, and state-level infrastructure procurement offices. The code captures both commodity-level blanket orders and specialized custom-fabrication work requiring technical compliance with building codes and structural performance standards.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017610 on October 13, 2026, soliciting a three-year blanket order of plastic materials including Lexan MR10 and polycarbonate sheets at multiple thicknesses with UV protection, with sealed bids due October 27, 2026 at 10:30 A.M. and 14-day delivery required to Austin. The State of Texas also issued ITB INF20260209 in May 2026 for fiberglass rebar (#4 size, 1/2" by 20' Gatorbar Glass), with bids due June 4, 2026. Outside Texas, Broward County Water and Wastewater Services in Florida posted an RFI on September 18, 2026 seeking market information for replacement of curved acrylic panels on a barrel-vault canopy at its administrative complex in Pompano Beach; responses were due September 28, 2026 and will inform a future formal solicitation. No set-asides or small-business preferences appeared in the Texas Health and Human Services blanket-order solicitation, though full solicitation terms for the other opportunities were not disclosed in available documentation.
