NIGP 66576: Polycarbonate Sheets

NIGP 66576 Polycarbonate Sheets (Item) covers transparent or clear polycarbonate board stock that state and local governments procure for construction, demolition, and protective applications requiring impact-resistant, weather-durable rigid sheet materials. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement recently solicited polycarbonate sheets in standard commercial configurations (4' x 8' and 5' x 8' sheets, 0.177 inches minimum thickness) rated to withstand weather exposure and forced entry, signaling that municipalities use this commodity for temporary barriers, security applications, and protective enclosures during construction and facility maintenance. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city construction and demolition departments; the recent activity is limited but demonstrates demand from municipal procurement offices.

The City of Detroit issued RFQ 547300 on May 13, 2026, with quotes due May 25, 2026, seeking one-year supply with an estimated annual volume of 20,000 sheets on an F.O.B. delivered basis. The procurement requires bidders to demonstrate five years of prior experience, maintain minimum annual production capacity of 20,000 sheets, and carry comprehensive insurance including $1,000,000 commercial general liability per occurrence. Detroit's procurement includes an equalization credit system offering 1–5% competitive advantages for Detroit-headquartered, Detroit-resident-owned, minority-owned, and women-owned enterprises, with the Purchasing Director authorized to limit bidding to certified local firms when at least three eligible vendors exist. Respondents must complete pre-award requirements including SAM.GOV registration, three years of financial statements, notarized Consolidated Affidavits, and Treasury Clearance (minimum 10 days). The contract value was not disclosed in available materials.
