NIGP 66576: Polycarbonate Sheets

NIGP 66576 Polycarbonate Sheets, an Item code, covers the procurement of transparent and clear polycarbonate sheet stock for structural and protective applications by state and local governments. Recent solicitations reveal governments buying rigid polycarbonate board materials sized in standard sheet configurations (4' x 8' and 5' x 8'), specified by thickness requirements (minimum 0.177 inches in the most recent opportunity), and engineered to withstand weathering and forced-entry conditions. The work solicited is supply-focused rather than fabrication or installation, with vendors expected to demonstrate five-year experience records, maintain annual production capacity of at least 20,000 units, and deliver material to specified locations with unloading capability. City procurement offices constitute the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, with the City of Detroit leading the identified opportunities.

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement posted RFQ 547300 on May 13, 2026, seeking polycarbonate board materials for its Construction and Demolition Department under a one-year base term with a one-year renewal option and an estimated annual volume of 20,000 sheets; quotes were due May 25, 2026. The City's equalization-credit preference structure actively incentivizes Detroit-based, Detroit-resident-owned, minority-owned, and women-owned business participation, with credits ranging from 1% to 5% available to certified firms. Pre-award requirements include notarized Consolidated Affidavits, three years of financial statements, SAM.GOV registration, proof of insurance meeting specified Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate) and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit) thresholds, and completion of Treasury Clearance. The solicitation does not disclose contract value; pricing evaluation relies on respondent proposals against a Material Fee Schedule.
